Strawberry fruit filling gives this easy ice cream pie it's beautiful coloring and strawberry flavor.
Fall is right around the corner, but summer is still in full swing here in North Texas. Our temps are still in the high 80's and low 90's, so we can't say goodbye to summer just yet. My family loves ice cream throughout the year, but there's just something special about enjoying ice cream during the summertime, especially homemade ice cream.
Do you love ice cream? Do you love strawberry topping? If you do, you're going to love this easy Strawberry Ice Cream Pie! No churn homemade vanilla ice cream, a vanilla wafer cookie crust and Lucky Leaf® strawberry fruit filling make up this simple no bake dessert that's perfect for summer.
I love simple desserts, especially ones that require chilling instead of baking. This easy ice cream pie can be customized any way you prefer. If strawberry isn't for you, no worries because Lucky Leafs® has so many convenient fruit fillings and topping flavors that you're sure to find the perfect flavor combination.
A few of my favorites are, mixed berry, cherry, strawberry and red raspberry. You really can't go wrong with any flavor combination. I absolutely think this delicious ice cream pie would be the perfect sweet ending to summer, so I hope you'll give this recipe a try.
Let's get started on this easy recipe. To begin, first gather all your ingredients. Prepare the strawberry ice cream ahead of time and freeze for about 2 - 3 hours before assembling the ice cream pie (see ice cream recipe at the end of this post).
To make the crust, add cookies to a food processor and pulse until it resembles fine crumbs. In a large bowl, mix the vanilla wafer crumbs with, sugar and melted butter until moistened and combined.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8 inch spring form pan that has been lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.
