Method

Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. 2

    Form the crust

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to create an even layer. Set aside while you prepare the filling.

Filling

  1. 3

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully incorporated.

  2. 4

    Add flavors

    Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, ensuring everything is well combined and smooth.

  3. 5

    Whip the cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.

  4. 6

    Combine mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

  5. 7

    Fill the crust

    Spread the filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Topping

  1. 8

    Prepare the topping

    Arrange the sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the filling in a decorative pattern.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Finish with fresh mint leaves for garnish.

  3. 10

    Chill

    Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set before serving.
