How to Make Homemade Strawberry Pie Filling
- The strawberry pie filling is a quick throw-together. Water, sugar, lemon juice and strawberries get tossed into a saucepan on medium-low until the strawberries start to release their juices.
- Turn up the heat to a boil for a minute and let the strawberry filling do it’s thing and thicken! Be sure to let the filling cool down before assembling your dessert.

How to Make the Fluffy Lemon Cheesecake Filling
This no-bake lemony cheesecake layer is very much like a regular cheesecake batter, except without the eggs, and it’s super fluffy.
- Start out whipping the cream cheese until smooth. Add the whipping cream, powdered sugar and whip on medium-high speed to get fluffy and creamy. The mixture should start forming soft peaks.
- Add the lemon juice and pinch of salt and continue whipping to get a fluffy mousse texture. Do not whip at high speed, to get best texture without overwhipping the texture.
- You’ll find this step much easier if you let the cream cheese come to room temperature before you start.
Not only is this dessert gorgeous, but this recipe also travels very easily and it’s the perfect dessert to bring to a party or BBQ too! Just keep it chilled until ready to serve! Make the keto strawberry lemon cheesecake version too!

Notes
Thank you Valentina!
Luscious is the perfect word for this! Lemon and strawberries are one of the best combinations ever! I love seeing recipes like this as we enter summertime. 🙂 ~Valentina
Strawberries are everywhere I look these days, so beautiful flavours releasing, locally grown, beautiful and sooooo tasty ! This is such a great suggestion to use them Kim ! Thank you so much !
What a beautiful and elegant dessert! It does look like you’ve spent few hours making it (And the fact that you haven’t indeed – mostly patiently waited until it cools, sets, etc lol makes it even more appealing!) And the combination of strawberries and lemon is so luscious and refreshing – exactly what I love in summer desserts!
