Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • - 1/3 cup melted butter
  • - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the white chocolate mousse:
  • - 10 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • - 2 cups heavy cream
  • - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • - 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • For the strawberry topping:
  • - 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • - 1/4 cup water
  • - Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  4. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream until well combined.
  7. Spoon the white chocolate mousse into the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
  8. In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
  9. Once the strawberry mixture has cooled, pour it over the white chocolate mousse layer, spreading it evenly.
  10. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 1-2 hours.
  11. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and extra sliced strawberries, if desired.
  12. Slice and serve this heavenly White Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Pie!
