Print Recipe

A no-bake, frozen dessert combining tangy lemonade and sweet strawberries in a creamy filling with a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 full sheets)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 lemons)
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  2. Mix crumbs with melted butter and sugar until evenly combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set (or bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes for a firmer crust, then cool).
  5. Make the strawberry puree: Pulse sliced strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth but slightly chunky. Set aside ¼ cup for garnish if desired.
  6. Prepare the lemon filling: Whisk lemon juice, sugar, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves.
  7. Heat mixture gently over medium heat, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  8. Mix cream cheese and puree: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  9. Gradually add cooled lemon mixture and blend until incorporated.
  10. Stir in strawberry puree gently for marbled effect or mix completely.
  11. Whip the cream: Using an electric mixer, whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
  12. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese and strawberry mixture until fluffy.
  13. Assemble and freeze: Pour filling into prepared crust and smooth top.
  14. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze at least 4 hours or overnight.
  15. Before serving, let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing.

Notes

If pie is too icy after freezing, let soften longer at room temperature or whip cream stiffer next time for creamier texture. Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor. Chill crust well to prevent sogginess. Warm knife before slicing for clean cuts. Dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions available.
