Strawberry Lime Ice Cream Pie Recipes

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375ºF. Remove ice cream from freezer and allow to soften.
• In a food processor crush graham crackers until fine. This will take about 12 graham crackers. Add in the melted butter and brown sugar, pulse until a sand like mixture has formed.
• Press the graham cracker crust evenly into the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan, making sure to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or large spoon to press the crust.
• Bake the crust in the heated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool for a few minutes before adding the hot fudge and ice cream.
• Softened the hot fudge by placing in the microwave for 30 seconds. Spread the hot fudge evenly across the top of the graham cracker crust.
• With a spatula, spread the softened ice cream across the top of the hot fudge layer, filling the pie pan to the top with the ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for at least 3 hours, or over night.
• Store tightly covered in the freezer. Remove from the freezer 5-10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.

STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE

Steps:

• For the strawberry gelatin: combine sliced strawberries and sugar in a medium heat proof (preferably metal) bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 18 to 24 hours.
• To make the crust: Heat oven to 325 degrees and lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch pie dish (don't use anything smaller). In a food processor combine wafers, sugar and melted butter. Process until mixture is well blended. Transfer to prepared pie dish and, using the bottom of a flat-bottomed measuring cup, press crumb mixture into an even layer on the bottom and up the sides, pressing up about 1/4-inch past the rim of the pie pan. Bake until the crust darkens slightly at the edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• To make the filling: Purée 3 ounces strawberries in a food processor, blender or immersion blender until smooth. You should have about 1/4 to 1/3 cup strawberry purée. Set aside. Quarter another 2 ounces of strawberries to yield about 1/3 cup, and set aside.
• With a whisk or an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in strawberry purée until just combined, making sure not to over beat. Using a rubber spatula, fold in quartered strawberries. Scrape strawberry cream into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Press the halved vanilla wafers vertically into the filling so that it is studded throughout with wafers. Cover pie with plastic wrap or parchment paper, place on rimmed sheet pan and chill in refrigerator for at least 3 hours (and up to 3 days). The longer the pie sits, the more cakelike the cookies get.
• Once the pie has chilled, thinly slice the remaining 5 ounces of strawberries. Remove pie from refrigerator and place sliced strawberries over the filling to cover it, overlapping slightly if necessary. Place back into the refrigerator, covered, as you make the strawberry gelatin.
• Put an inch or two of water in a medium saucepan and bring water to a simmer. Place the still-covered bowl of strawberries on top of the saucepan. Be sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl; if so, pour some water out. Heat strawberries to release more juice, swirling the bowl occasionally (use oven mitts), for 15 minutes; they should look very juicy. Using a fine sieve, strain strawberries until there is about 2/3 cup juice. You can press gently on the berries to release more juice but don't press too hard or the gelatin will get cloudy. Save the strawberry solids for something else, like smoothies.
• Transfer about 2 tablespoons of the hot strawberry juice into a bowl and sprinkle gelatin over the top; let it sit for a few minutes to soften. Add remaining strawberry juice to gelatin mixture and whisk until completely dissolved. Whisk in lemon juice.
• With the pie still in the refrigerator on a sheet pan, pour the gelatin over the sliced strawberries (pouring the gelatin over the back over a spoon suspended over the pie can be helpful to get an even layer of gelatin over the top and doing this work while the pie is in the fridge ensures the glossiest topping and keeps everything from spilling). Let pie chill in the refrigerator, uncovered, until the gelatin sets, at least 2 hours or overnight. Serve with whipped cream dolloped on top.
