Frozen Strawberry Pie
Makes 1 (9-inch) deep dish pie
Ingredients
- 3 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and divided
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1¼ cups cold heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, ¾ cup melted butter, and ½ cup sugar until moistened; add up to remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter if mixture is too dry. Using a measuring cup, press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, stir together strawberries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Let stand until liquid is released, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to the work bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cold cream at medium speed until medium-soft peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in vanilla and salt. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Clean bowl of stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese at medium-low speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add strawberry purée, and beat until combined. Fold in whipped cream mixture. Pour into prepared crust, and freeze overnight. Using a hot, dry knife, cut into slices. Serve cold with sweetened whipped cream and strawberries.
