Strawberry Lemonade Dream Pie (Print Format)

Creamy strawberry lemonade pie combines fruity ice cream, graham crust, and whipped topping for a dreamy treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Graham Cracker Crust

01 - 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - ¼ cup sugar
03 - 6 tbsp unsalted sweet cream butter, melted

→ Pie Filling

04 - 1 qt strawberry ice cream
05 - 8 oz pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
06 - 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed

→ Whipped Cream Topping

07 - 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
08 - ¾ cup powdered sugar
09 - 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
10 - 2 tbsp lemon zest

→ Garnish

11 - Lemon zest
12 - Lemon wedges

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl.
02 - Spray the pie pan with baking spray. Press half the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pie dish and the remaining mixture along the sides.
03 - Bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
04 - Remove the strawberry ice cream from the freezer and let it thaw for 20 minutes to soften. In a large bowl, whisk together the pink lemonade concentrate, softened ice cream, and Cool Whip until smooth.
05 - Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Spread it evenly, cover, and place into the freezer overnight.
06 - Place a large mixing bowl into the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
07 - In the chilled bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes.
08 - Spread half the whipped cream evenly over the frozen pie filling. Transfer the remaining whipped cream to a piping bag and pipe dollops around the edge. Garnish with lemon zest and wedges.
09 - Place the decorated pie in the freezer for an additional 2 hours before serving.
10 - Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy!

# Tips:

01 - Ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
02 - Using a chilled bowl for whipped cream helps it beat more efficiently.
