A refreshing frozen pie combining tangy lemonade and fresh strawberries in a creamy filling with a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries, slightly thawed
  • 1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Fresh sliced strawberries or lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
  • Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust (10 minutes): Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form (about 1 ½ cups). If unavailable, crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin until evenly ground. Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl. Add melted butter and granulated sugar, stirring until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Press the crust into the pie dish: Using fingers or the bottom of a glass, firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even ¼ inch thick layer. Place the crust in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  3. Prepare the Filling Base (5 minutes): In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and fluffy.
  4. Blend Strawberries and Lemonade (5 minutes): In a blender or food processor, combine slightly thawed frozen strawberries and thawed lemonade concentrate. Blend until smooth but still slightly textured (about 20 seconds). Pour mixture into the cream cheese bowl and mix on low until evenly distributed.
  5. Whip the Cream (5 minutes): In a separate chilled bowl, beat heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the strawberry lemonade and cream cheese mixture using a spatula, folding slowly to keep mixture airy.
  6. Assemble and Freeze (15 minutes prep, 4 hours freeze): Remove crust from freezer and pour filling evenly into crust. Smooth top with spatula. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm but scoopable.
  7. Serve: Let pie sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing to soften slightly. Garnish with fresh strawberries, lemon zest, or mint leaves.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth blending; microwave for 10 seconds if needed. Fold whipped cream gently to keep mixture light. Freeze for 4-6 hours for best texture. Let pie rest 10-15 minutes before slicing for easier cuts. Gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions available.
