Follow these easy steps to create your amazing Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well blended.
2. Add to Pie Dish: Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Make it as even as possible.
3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up while you prepare the filling.
4. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
5. Add Sugar and Flavor: Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks are achieved.
6. Blend Softened Cream Cheese: In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with lemon juice until smooth.
7. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until uniform. Ensure not to deflate the whipped cream.
8. Layer the Strawberries: Fold in the sliced strawberries, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
9. Fill the Crust: Pour the strawberry mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
10. Freeze the Pie: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
11. Serve: Remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with reserved strawberries if desired.
