For the topping (optional):
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, then stir in the chopped strawberries.
Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
Top with additional whipped topping and garnish with whole or halved strawberries if desired.
Serve chilled.
To prevent a soggy crust, ensure strawberries are dry before folding in.
For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free condensed milk.
Let the pie chill overnight for best results.
Make individual servings using mini tart pans or muffin cups.
Optional: Add a layer of strawberry glaze or jam for a glossy, professional finish.
For a frozen treat, serve partially frozen as an icebox pie on hot days.
Always store in the refrigerator and consume within 3–4 days for optimal freshness.
