This Black Bottom Strawberry Cream Pie features a flaky golden crust layered with rich hot fudge, sweet cream cheese filling, and juicy glazed strawberries. A delicious chilled dessert finished with optional whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
  • 2/3 cup hot fudge topping
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 pint (2 cups) strawberries, quartered
  • 1/2 cup strawberry pie glaze
  • 1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream, whipped, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare pie crust as directed on the package for a One-Crust Baked Shell using a 9-inch glass pie pan. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  2. Spread hot fudge topping evenly over the bottom of the cooled pie crust. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the chocolate layer to set.
  3. In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Carefully spread the mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, gently toss the quartered strawberries with the strawberry pie glaze until evenly coated. Spoon the glazed strawberries over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Refrigerate the assembled pie until firm, about 1 hour.
  6. Just before serving, pipe or spoon whipped cream around the edge of the pie, if desired. Slice into 8 servings and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Allow the baked pie crust to cool completely before adding the hot fudge to prevent the layers from melting.
  • Use softened cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Choose fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • For easier slicing, refrigerate the pie until the filling is completely firm.
  • Whipped cream is optional but adds a light, creamy finishing touch.
  • Store leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For the best presentation, add whipped cream immediately before serving.
