Strawberry slab pie is the dessert of summer. Sweet fresh strawberry slices sit on top of a layer of decadent cream cheese filling and buttery pie crust making a sweet treat that can feed a big crowd.

There is one vital problem with pie.

It’s not big enough to feed a crowd.

One regular pie feeds 6-8 people.

Or you know, maybe me and my husband, depending on what kind of pie it is.

Because some kinds are just so delicious that I don’t want to share!

Slab Pie: The Way to Feed A Crowd 

With slab pie, though, you don’t have to worry about fighting over the last piece!

Instead of serving 6-8 this recipe serves 16.

And each serving bursts with the flavors of juicy sweet strawberries and luscious cream cheese.

It’s perfection.

How to Make This Strawberry Dessert

This recipe is pretty straight forward and easy, however it does take a little bit of planning ahead.

You should prep your strawberries the night before you plan on making this pie.

To prep the strawberries, wash and slice them.

Then put the sliced berries into a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle them with sugar.

Gently mix the strawberries to distribute the sugar evenly.

Cover them and refrigerate them overnight.

The next day, preheat the oven according to the directions on the pie crust and spray a 9×13 sheet pan with nonstick spray.

Set it aside.

Once the pan is ready to go, remove the pie crust from the box and unroll the sheets.

Put the second sheet on top of the first sheet and set the first sheet onto a floured counter.

Roll them out into a rectangle.

Arrange the rectangle on the prepared baking sheet. It should be large enough to cover it.

Now poke holes with a fork across the crust.

Bake the crust according to the directions on the package or until it turns golden brown.

Take it out of the oven and let it cool.

When the crust is cool, prepare the cream cheese filling.

To do this, add the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes or until it is smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar a quarter cup a time and beat slowly until it’s incorporated.

Then beat it in the vanilla and the heavy cream and keep beating until it’s well incorporated and fluffy.

Finish the pie off by spreading the cream cheese filling over top of the baked crust.

Then pour the strawberries evenly over top of the cream cheese layer.

Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

  • Make sure to prepare the strawberries the night before you assemble the pie. The sugar draws the liquid out of the strawberries and creates this yummy syrup. Don’t skip this!
  • It might be tempting to skip poking holes in the crust, but the holes help prevent the crust from puffing up. 
  • Use full fat cream cheese for best result.
  • Leave the cream cheese on the counter for about half an hour prior to beating it to soften it. Cream cheese that isn’t softened won’t whip up, and you need the whip so that it spread smoothly without tearing the crust.

    Be sure NOT to drain the strawberries in Step 7. That defeats the purpose of letting the strawberries rest overnight in the sugar to produce the syrup. You don’t want all the deliciousness to go down the drain!!!!
