Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 5 tbsp. butter, melted
• 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2/3 cup sugar, plus 1 tbsp.
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp. lemon zest
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• Max Pie Topper (Optional)

Supplies

• 9-in. pie plate

Directions

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Stir the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter into a medium bowl. Spoon the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate and press evenly on the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Bake until fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer pie plate to a wire rack and cool while preparing the filling.

2. Step 2

   Beat the cream cheese and 2/3 cup sugar into a medium bowl with an electric mixer set on medium speed, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until smooth. Add the lemon juice and zest and the sour cream, beating until just smooth.

3. Step 3

   Pour the mixture into the prebaked pie crust. Bake until center is just set, about 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.

4. Step 4

   Refrigerate until pie is chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight.

5. Step 5

   Toss the sliced strawberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar to coat. Arrange the strawberries on top of the chilled pie.

6. Step 6 (Optional)

   Add the Max Pie Topper.
