Strawberry Pie

image

prep: 20 minutes

cook: none

cool: 6 hours


¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons (7 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 cups (about 9 ounces) strawberries, hulled and cut into ¼-inch dice (about 1½ cups), plus whole strawberries, for garnish (optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ cup powdered sugar

Graham Cracker Crust

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk and lemon juice, then stir in the diced strawberries.

2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar on a low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

3. Add the whipped cream to the bowl with the condensed milk mixture, and gently fold it in. The consistency will resemble a thick pudding. Pour the pie filling into the crust.

4. Freeze for at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Garnish with strawberries, if desired.

5. Remove from the freezer and serve immediately.

6. Store, covered, in the freezer for up to 5 days.
