A quick and easy frozen dessert combining tart lemonade and sweet strawberries in a creamy, icy pie perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries, thawed and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup (240ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 (8 oz/225g) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream, extra lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact firmly and freeze for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the strawberry puree: Pulse thawed strawberries in a food processor or blender a few times to create a chunky puree. Set aside.
  3. Mix the cream cheese: Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add sugar, lemon juice, and zest: Slowly mix in granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined.
  5. Whip the heavy cream: In a chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Fold the cream into the cream cheese mixture: Gently fold half the whipped cream into the lemon-strawberry mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until fluffy.
  7. Incorporate the strawberry puree: Fold the chunky strawberry puree into the creamy mixture, leaving some streaks for a marbled effect.
  8. Assemble and freeze: Pour filling into the prepared crust, smooth the top, cover tightly, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  9. Serve: Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream, and lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth filling. Chill bowls and beaters for better whipped cream. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling light. Freeze pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Let pie thaw 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
