Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Press the Crust: Firmly press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Ensure it’s evenly distributed.
3. Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully integrated.
5. Add Strawberries: Carefully fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.
6. Fill the Crust: Pour the creamy filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
7. Freeze the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
8. Prepare Topping: Once the pie is set, remove it from the freezer. Heat the strawberry glaze slightly (if using store-bought) and drizzle it over the top of the pie.
9. Garnish: Add additional sliced strawberries on top for an appealing presentation.
10. Serve: Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy the refreshing taste of your Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie!
