Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer
- Rubber spatula
- 8-inch pie dish
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 (1 ounce) package cheesecake flavor sugar-free instant pudding mix
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Press this mixture into an 8-inch pie dish and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until softened. Reduce the speed to low and gradually beat in the milk, a little at a time. The mixture will be watery, so use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides if necessary. Beat in the pudding mix until the filling is thick and smooth.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spoon half of the cream cheese filling into the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Spread half of the sliced strawberries over the filling. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake layer and strawberries.
- Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator until it’s set and cold, at least 1 hour.
Tips for Success
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing for a smoother texture.
- Chill the crust while you prepare the filling to help it set better.
- For a mousse-like dessert, consider omitting the crust and serving the filling in dessert dishes with chopped strawberries folded in.
Additional Tips and Variations
For a twist, try using fat-free white chocolate pudding instead of cheesecake pudding for a different flavor profile. If you’re avoiding fruit, top with a mixture of whipped cream and fat-free milk chocolate pudding for a delightful variation.
