Scale
Crust:
- 20 Strawberry flavored Pocky sticks
- 8 graham crackers
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces whipped cream
- 8–10 fresh strawberries for topping
- 5 to 7 strawberry Pocky sticks, for decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350Fº.
- Put the graham crackers and 20 strawberry Pocky sticks in a blender and blend until they turn into crumbs.
- Transfer the crumbs into a 9 inch pie pan.
- Add the sugar, melted butter and mix well with a fork until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press down until the crust covers the surface of the pan, making sure all sides are even.
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Take the crust out of the oven and let cool to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and beat for a few more seconds.
- Pour the whipped cream and cream cheese cream filling on top of the pie crust and spread evenly. Top with fresh strawberries and break a few pieces of Pocky to make a star in the center. Cut a small circle out of a slice of strawberry and put it in the center of the star.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve cold.
Notes
Tip: For a more intense strawberry flavor, blend a few more strawberry Pocky sticks and sprinkle the crumbs over the cake.
