Chill Out With Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie

When it comes to adulting, the days can get pretty hectic. Make sure you carve out time to slow down and enjoy life with a satisfying side of Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie. This rich concoction delivers the sweet flavor you crave, one cool and creamy bite at a time. It’s perfect to share with girlfriends, kiddos or even to sneak as a snack before bed. (We promise not to tell.)

No matter how you slice it, South Dakotans have it pretty easy when it comes to finding fresh, healthy and local dairy foods straight from the farm. In fact, with 117,000 dairy cows that eat 31,000 tons of soybean meal each year in our great state, it’s possible that the milk you purchase to accompany this pie is entirely home grown. How great is that?

So chill out and enjoy some strawberry cream pie tonight. The full recipe plus video instructions are below. Best of all, it comes together in just 40 minutes, but requires at least three hours to cool. That’s just the right amount of time to grab your favorite beverages and read about how locally owned Dimock Dairy creates its mouthwatering cheeses. You can thank us later.
