Preparation Method Steps:
- Line an 8-inch springform pan or round baking dish with the graham cracker crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Reserve about 1 cup of the cream mixture for later.
- Dip the strawberries into the remaining cream mixture and arrange them on top of the graham cracker crust.
- Pour the reserved cream mixture on top of the strawberries and spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- To melt the chocolate wafers, microwave them in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Dip the top of each strawberry into the melted chocolate and place the strawberries back on the pie.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- To prevent the crust from getting soggy, make sure the cream mixture is chilled before spreading it on the crust.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie dish. Just trim the excess crust around the edges.
- To make ahead, prepare the pie up to step 9 and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Before serving, let the pie thaw for 1 hour and then dip the strawberries in chocolate.
