Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets) or vanilla wafer crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
  • 1 quart good-quality vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 2 tbsp strawberry jam or preserves
  • Optional garnish: whipped cream
  • Optional garnish: fresh strawberry slices
  • Optional garnish: mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust (10 minutes): Crush 1 ½ cups of graham crackers or vanilla wafers until fine crumbs form. Combine crumbs with 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter and 2 tbsp granulated sugar if using. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press crumb mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact firmly. Freeze crust for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Strawberry Filling (10 minutes): Toss 1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries with ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate. Optional: Stir in 2 tbsp strawberry jam. Scoop 1 quart softened vanilla ice cream into bowl and gently fold strawberries into ice cream, keeping swirls intact.
  3. Assemble and Freeze (5 minutes): Remove crust from freezer. Pour strawberry ice cream mixture into crust and smooth top. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Serve: Let pie sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Let ice cream soften for 10-15 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Macerate strawberries with powdered sugar for better flavor and texture. Fold strawberries gently into ice cream to keep texture. Freeze pie overnight for best slicing results. Let pie sit 5-10 minutes before slicing for easier cuts.
