Print Recipe

A quick and refreshing frozen strawberry pie featuring a creamy filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for summer and no baking required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, crushed finely)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or with a rolling pin until finely ground. Measure out 1 ½ cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar (if using). Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  7. Fold in sliced strawberries, reserving a few for garnish.
  8. Spoon the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Garnish with reserved strawberry slices if desired.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave in 10-second bursts if in a hurry. Use cold cream and chilled bowl for whipping. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Freeze at least 4 hours for best texture. Let pie soften 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain well to avoid watery filling.
