Description

This Strawberry Shortcake Pie combines a creamy, fruity filling with a buttery crumble topping, layered over a classic graham cracker crust. The pie is a no-bake freezer delight, perfect for warm days when you want a refreshing dessert with the nostalgic flavors of strawberry shortcake. Cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream create a luscious filling, complemented by a crunchy, baked crumble topping made from strawberry Jell-O and vanilla-flavored crumbles.

Ingredients

Strawberry Shortcake Crumble Topping

  • 3 ounces strawberry flavored Jell-O
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and divided)
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pie Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 2 cups strawberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust (9 or 10 inches)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking the crumble topping.
  2. Make Strawberry Crumble: In a medium bowl, mix the strawberry flavored Jell-O with 1/2 cup of flour and 1/4 cup cold butter using a fork until the mixture resembles a fine crumble.
  3. Make Vanilla Crumble: In a separate medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cold butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use a fork to mix until crumbles form.
  4. Combine Crumbles: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the strawberry crumble evenly on the sheet, then sprinkle the vanilla crumble on top and gently mix by hand to slightly blend.
  5. Bake Crumble Topping: Bake the crumble mixture for 7-8 minutes without stirring. Once done, remove from oven and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Before serving, stir with a fork to loosen.
  6. Whip Cream: Using an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until very stiff peaks form. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  7. Beat Cream Cheese: In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and lump-free.
  8. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and beat for an additional minute until fully combined.
  9. Incorporate Strawberry Sauce: Add the strawberry sauce to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well mixed.
  10. Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry-cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  11. Fill Pie Crust: Pour and spread the filling evenly into the prepared graham cracker pie crust.
  12. Freeze Pie: Place the filled pie in the freezer and freeze for 6-8 hours until firm.
  13. Serve: Remove the pie from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before serving to allow slight thawing for easier slicing.
  14. Garnish and Enjoy: Sprinkle the prepared strawberry shortcake crumble topping over the pie just before serving for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter used in the crumble topping is cold to achieve the best crumbly texture.
  • For best results, chill the whipped cream before whipping to help it reach stiff peaks quickly.
  • If using homemade strawberry sauce, adjust sugar to taste to ensure a balanced sweetness in the filling.
  • You can prepare the crumble topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Let the pie thaw slightly before serving to make slicing easier and improve texture.
  • This pie is best enjoyed within 2 days of freezing for optimal freshness.
