One of my favorite summertime treats is this delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Jello pie. I like to serve a refreshing and cool dessert at summer gatherings, especially during the steamy months of July and August.
We’re deep in the heart of barbecue season now, and summer entertaining and outdoor fun make it such a happy time of year. I have either burgers, hot dogs, ribs or chicken cooking on my charcoal grill nearly every day for a family dinner or a backyard party. I simply can’t get enough of it.
Of course, dessert is yet another summer essential, and when it’s as easy to make as this strawberry cream cheese jello pie, you can’t go wrong!
Filled with fresh strawberries and topped with a mixture of berries, it’s not only a delectable dessert but beautiful too, and best of all, it’s really easy to make!
The strawberry JELL-O and fresh summer berries add just the right amount of sweetness to the cream cheese.
Each cool and creamy forkful will leave you smiling.

Just went to bed after cleaning up the mess I made making this pie. I fumbled it while trying to putting it in the frig. I tasted the filling and it was ok. Hope it’s better tomorrow but prob won’t bother w this recipe again.
Liz says
I hope it turns out well for you. I’m sorry it spilled when transferring to the fridge. That’s absolutely no fun! I usually have a little liquid left over that I can’t fit into the pie shell when I make this because I’m afraid of overfilling and sloshing. Of course, sometimes I slosh anyhow. 😉 Good luck!
Dorothy Martin says
My grandmother made cream cheese jello all the time. The key to easy mixing is mix the jello with a spoon into softened cream cheese, making a paste. THEN add the cup of boiling water and stir to dissolve. Perfect every time with no clumps of cream cheese.
Your pie looks delicious, I will try it very soon!!
Jessica Formicola says
You had me sold at strawberry! This pie would be perfect for a 4th of July dessert!
Suzette Carter says
I made the mistake and mixed the cold water before mixing the cream cheese and jello mix so I ended up with white clumps from the cream cheese ☹️ Lesson learned !
Liz says
I’ll bet it will still taste good though!
Hermione says
I tried this jello cake out for my family, we all loved it. It was a little hard to blend the jello water with the cream cheese but just keep whisking & it will mix. The only thing I would add would be strawberry extract to give it more flavor because the filling was a little bland. But other than that it was still delicious! Goes great with a little bit of Marshmello puff.
Liz says
Strawberry extract to boost the flavor is a great idea. So glad your family enjoyed the recipe!
Emily says
I’ve never made a Jell-O pie but I want to start with this one! Yum! Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday – I’m going to be featuring your pie at our upcoming party 🙂
Jenny says
Your 4th of July sweet treat looks amazing! I will be featuring it in my 4th of July Red, White, Blue Sweet Treats this sunday at Merry Monday 6 pm pst. Hope to see you at the party!

Mary Jacobs says
This dessert is the best thing to serve during those hot and sweltering summer days. The combination of sweetness and coolness brings great relief for people who are affected by the summer heat. The dessert dish is quite a creative piece of food that mixes cream cheese with Jello-O pie.

I pinned it on our board…
Lynnette says
HELP! Just made this and with adding all that water, it seems to be too diluted and does not fit in the pie crust! Are your sure about adding another 1 1/2 cup water after having added 2 cups boiling water?
Liz says
Oh my goodness! For a 3 ounce box, it should be 1 cup boiling initially and then 1/2 cup cold after that. If you pour the mixture into a bowl and add another 3 ounce box to the one you already used, you should be able to salvage it with a lot of mixing to be sure the new gelatin dilutes properly.
lori says
I appreciated reading a helpful comment about making this pie!!!
Lisa says
Mine came out super runny. Followed directions to the tee. I’m afraid to even pour it in crust as it will become one soggy mess!
Liz says
Oh nooooooo! It will be very liquid, just like jello is before it begins to gel so don’t panic. Also, it’s VERY hard to get the cream cheese to be completely smooth. You’ll probably see little bits of it but it will still taste delicious.
Also, depending on the pie crust size you’re using, you may have a little more filling than you need. You can just pour it in a ramekin and chill that separately for a snack. 🙂
Lois says
It is a total of 11/2 cups of water. You dissolve the jello in one cup of boiling water and then you add 1/2 cup of water after you beat in the cream cheese. The directions are pretty straight forward. I am not sure why you thought you were supposed to add another 1 1/2 cups of water.
Leslie Hernandez says
