You can also just buy a store bought crust and press pecans into it, although this will likely make a smaller pie.

AND THEN THE DREAM WHIP FILLING
Now some people do make this filling with Cool Whip, but I’ve carried on my mom’s tradition of a creamy Dream Whip filling. I like to call it angel fluff.
When you mix Dream Whip with cream cheese, it becomes this amazing dreamy filling with all that cream cheese goodness. It makes an excellent strawberry no bake dessert.
Just a few tips for how to make the creamy filling…
Beat the cream cheese separately first thing. This will help it soften up more, and it will blend in better with the Dream Whip, once you’re ready for that step.
Mix the Dream Whip according to the package directions (also included in the recipe card below).
You can split the Dream Whip filling in half to make 2 smaller pies (also, the strawberry filling above).
You can save back just a little bit of whipped cream for a whipped topping on the final dessert.
Once your Dream Whip is mixed up, you’ll layer it on top of the crust.
NEXT STEP: MAKE THE FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE FILLING
The strawberry pie filling is probably my favorite part of this dessert, besides the cream cheese. It’s quick and easy to make too.
Just a few tips…
Use fresh sliced strawberries. They don’t have near the amount of water that frozen berries will have. And they have better flavor.
Bring the puréed strawberry mixture to a boil, and boil for a good 3 to 5 minutes, or until it really thickens up and becomes a deep red color.
Once your strawberry sauce has cooled, mix it together with the sliced strawberries.
And then you’ll add the strawberry pie filling on top of that dreamy whipped cream cheese layer for the most scrumptious dessert ever.
