Yep, you only need 4 ingredients to make this pie: strawberry ice cream, a graham cracker crust, fresh strawberries, and strawberry syrup. It’s bursting with strawberry flavor, it’s true. All you have to do is place the ice cream in the pie crust, let it harden, then top it with the syrup and fresh strawberries. So easy and so delicious. Your whole family will love it!
Recipe Ingredients
- Strawberry ice cream
- Graham cracker crust
- Fresh strawberries
- Strawberry syrup
How to Make Strawberry Ice Cream Pie
Working quickly, scoop the ice cream into the pie crust. Freeze until firm (about two hours).
Just before serving, arrange the fresh strawberries over the ice cream and drizzle with syrup.
Storage
Tightly cover leftover pie to avoid freezer burn and store it in the freezer for up to a week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to just soften slightly.
Recipe Notes
- If you want to bake the graham cracker crust to give it a slightly deeper flavor you can do that too. Brush it with a beaten egg or egg whites and bake at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. But just remember to cool it thoroughly before putting the ice cream on it.
- Want to add a little bit more deliciousness? Get some hot fudge sauce (microwave it for about 30 seconds to soften) and add a layer on top of the pie crust. Let it rest for a moment to harden slightly before adding the softened ice cream. The chocolate strawberry combo is to die for! Another option is to switch the strawberry syrup to chocolate sauce and to garnish the pie with chocolate shavings.
- I also won’t tell if you serve it with some whipped cream as well (here’s my homemade recipe). Alternatively, add a layer of Cool Whip on top of the ice cream before freezing.
- Adapt this ice cream pie recipe to suit you. Maybe you want to skip the strawberry and use chocolate ice cream and chocolate syrup instead? The choice is yours!

I seem to have been ‘out of the loop’ what happened????? but hope you continue to improve Lou Skeen
Heading out to Publix now . . . for the Strawberry Ice Cream and pie crust!!!
Looks so refreshing, and sound “perfectly divine too!!” Great bang for anyone’s buck, I’m guessing…
Thank you Christy, and our prayers are with you, during your horse mishap, Oh my… the Lord is so good, he will guide you through ANYTHING he takes you to!!
Blessings sweety!!
That quote is just too painful. Can’t wait to try the pie. I think I’ll freeze the crust first to help keep the ice cream frozen. Working quickly isn’t my strong suit. I’m also thinking about variations on the pie theme with maybe a chocolate crust and chocolate syrup. Happy trails, Christy (without the horse, of course). Praying that every new day is better and better for you.
So sorry, about your accident. Praying for a qiuck recovery and back to your sweet self and those wonderful recipes, stories.
God Bless.
Hope you got a proper wheelchair! I was upset yesterday when I read your tales of getting to Dr, etc. You deserve proper and safe medical equipment. Hope it’s all straightened out now. Glad you have a sweet demeanor to help tide you over, and a wonderful family to help you. Much love, and many blessings to you at this time.
Love the quote! Christy, you are something else! (Meanining this in a good way of course!) lol
Ad to get back up should complete today’s quote. I am sure you will be back to your busy lifestyle as soon as possible. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
