Strawberry Chocolate Pie recipe that will make your heart stop from a Pennsylvania homestead. Nothing beats strawberry season with fresh juicy strawberries in a covered chocolate crust on top of a flaky pie crust for the perfect bite!
Every year on my husband's birthday it's time to bake pie! I only do this twice a year, one on Thanksgiving and one for his birthday.
He is a diabetic so he will pick his favorite dessert to splurge and pies are the all-time favorites. So every year, I try to pick a recipe that will knock him out.
This is a no-bake strawberry chocolate pie recipe but it does take time. It took me 24 hours to finish this chocolate strawberry pie, which I love a challenge. It's not difficult to make but from different pie recipes, it's not quick. I would not recommend the same day unless it is started first thing in the morning.
Warning, I almost ate the whole pie myself, I hope you have more willpower than me. This is by far the most delicious pie I have ever eaten! It is my first time making it and I'm sure it won't be my last. Let's get started, so I can share with you the full recipe of how to make this yummy dessert.

How to Make Strawberry Chocolate Pie
Pie Crust
The first thing to do is to bake a pie crust in a pie pan. Cover the top with parchment paper then add pie weights or dry beans. Follow package directions. Take the pie out and while the pie cools a bit, cut strawberries and let them strain to dry.
Chocolate Ganache
On medium-high heat add chocolate chips and butter into a small saucepan then mix with a wooden spoon together until the chocolate mixture is creamy. Be careful not to overcook. Take the cooled pie crust and brush it onto the pie shell with the chocolate mixture. Place in the refrigerator until the chocolate is hard for about 2 hours.
Cream Cheese Filling
Mix the cream cheese with heavy cream, yogurt, honey, and vanilla until softened then wrap in plastic and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours so it can cool. Then spread on the pie and spread evenly. Wait a couple of hours before the next step.
Strawberry Filling
Combine the first 4 ingredients in a saucepan and boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add butter. Set aside to cool a bit then when it has cooled off, mix the strawberry with the glazes. Arrange berries in a pie shell. Refrigerate for several hours or best over night.
Fresh Whipped Cream Topping
