How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Pie
This easy strawberry shortcake recipe is so delicious, and so fun to make too! It’s absolutely filled to the brim with amazing ingredients, and I love assembling the layers to create the perfect pie. You will make the cream cheese filling to layer into the pie, but there’s no baking involved. It’s mostly just a matter of layering up all of the ingredients!
Let’s talk about those layers and how to make this pie (starting from the bottom layer):
- Pie Crust – you can make your own if you prefer, but a store-bought pie crust works just fine (and makes this recipe much easier).
- Cream Cheese Mixture – Beat cream cheese until light & smooth, and mix with powdered sugar, white chocolate, and almond & vanilla extract.
- Pound Cake – Again, you can make your own , but I like Sara Lee’s pound cake, and store-bought makes this recipe quick and easy. Cut the cake into 1/4 in slices and place in a single layer on top of the cream cheese. Cut smaller pieces of cake to fill in gaps and make an even layer.
- Strawberry Mixture – Mix fresh sliced strawberries with the strawberry glaze to get that fresh made texture. Apply a layer of this on top of the cake layer.
- Another layer of the pound cake.
- Another layer of the cream cheese filling.
- Another layer of the strawberry glaze on top.
- Add some cool whip, drizzled white chocolate, and sliced strawberries on top for decoration (optional).
This creates the most beautiful strawberry shortcake pie! I love how easy it is to just buy the ingredients and make the pie, layer by layer, without any extra hassle. Like I said, you can always make some of these ingredients homemade (pound cake, strawberry glaze, pie crust), but that wouldn’t be quite as easy!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
