Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by combining crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to compact the crust.
- Place the prepared crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the filling, approximately 10 minutes.
- In a blender, combine frozen strawberries, lime juice, and sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth and completely integrated, creating a vibrant pink mixture.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture, ensuring a light and airy texture. Mix carefully to maintain the volume of the whipped cream.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is completely set and firm.
- Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Garnish with additional whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, or lime zest if desired before serving.
Tips
- Ensure your graham cracker crust is tightly packed to prevent crumbling when serving.
- Use frozen strawberries for the best texture and to keep the pie extra cold and firm.
- For a smoother blend, let the frozen strawberries sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before blending.
- When folding whipped cream, use a gentle, bottom-to-top motion to maintain its airy texture.
- For a more adult version, you can add a splash of white rum to the strawberry mixture.
- Freeze the pie overnight for the best set and easiest slicing.
- Use a knife dipped in hot water for clean, smooth pie slices.
- Store any leftovers in the freezer, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for up to a week.
