A refreshing no-bake frozen pie combining creamy strawberry and tangy lemonade flavors in a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh strawberry slices, grated lemon zest, mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 20 seconds). Alternatively, crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin until uniform but not powdery.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Stir until mixture feels like wet sand and holds together when pressed.
  3. Press crumb mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, about ½ inch thick. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  4. In a blender, combine chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth but slightly textured (around 30 seconds). Taste and adjust sugar or lemon juice if needed. Optionally strain through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother filling.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes) using a mixer on medium speed.
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes). Avoid overwhipping.
  7. Gently fold strawberry puree into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Then fold in whipped cream carefully to keep it light and airy.
  8. Pour filling evenly over chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Cover pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  10. Before serving, let pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, lemon zest, and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften for 30-60 minutes before mixing. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Press crust firmly and chill well to prevent sogginess. Use gentle folding motions to keep filling light. Avoid freezing pie uncovered to prevent ice crystals. Let pie thaw slightly before slicing for neat pieces.
