A quick and easy frozen pie featuring a creamy lemon and cream cheese filling with fresh strawberries in a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfect for a refreshing summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (preferably honey-flavored)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (300g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 ½ cups (360ml) cold whipping cream
  • 2 cups (about 300g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting or extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed, about 3 minutes.
  2. Press crust into pie dish: Transfer crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Press firmly and evenly across bottom and up sides to about ¼ inch thick. Chill in fridge for 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare filling base: Beat softened cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, mix until fully combined.
  4. Whip the cream: In a separate cold bowl, whip cold whipping cream to soft peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  5. Fold whipped cream into filling: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture in three additions using a spatula to keep mixture light and airy.
  6. Add strawberries: Fold in 1 ½ cups sliced strawberries into filling, reserving some slices for garnish.
  7. Assemble the pie: Pour filling into chilled crust and smooth top. Arrange reserved strawberry slices on top.
  8. Freeze: Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  9. Serve: Let pie sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts.

Notes

Keep whipping cream chilled before whipping for best results. Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airiness. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Freeze overnight for best texture. Warm knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts. Can substitute gluten-free crust or dairy-free alternatives as needed.
