When the weather heats up, nothing beats a creamy, refreshing frozen dessert that requires minimal effort. This Frozen Strawberry Cream Pie is the perfect make-ahead treat—bursting with sweet strawberries, silky cream, and a buttery cookie crust. It’s light, fruity, and absolutely irresistible straight from the freezer. Best of all, there’s no baking involved, making it a stress-free dessert for summer gatherings or a late-night indulgence.
Ingredients:
-
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, crushed)
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed if frozen)
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
-
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-
Make the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Place in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
-
Prepare strawberry puree: Blend strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
-
Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Combine filling: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the whipped cream. Swirl in the strawberry puree, leaving streaks for a marbled look.
-
Freeze: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
-
Serve: Slice and enjoy straight from the freezer for a cool, creamy treat.
