Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even crust. Use the back of a spoon to firmly press the crumbs.
-
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
-
Once the crust has cooled, spread the softened strawberry ice cream over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pie dish in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set.
-
In a saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and the strawberries become soft, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the strawberry topping cool to room temperature.
-
Pour the strawberry topping over the chilled ice cream layer, spreading it evenly. Return the pie to the freezer and let it set for an additional 2 hours or overnight.
-
Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting. Top with whipped cream if desired.
