Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Pie Crust

  • 14 sheets graham crackers (use vegan graham crackers if desired)
  • 6 tbsp olive oil

Pie Filling

  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream (use non-dairy if desired)
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries quartered
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 lemon juiced

Instructions
 

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Crush graham crackers in a mixing bowl. (I like to use my stand mixer).
  • Add olive oil and continue to crush or mix with stand mixer until graham crackers are broken into small pieces.
  • Firmly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a deep dish pie pan or use a rectangular glass baking dish.
  • Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes or until graham crackers are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Then transfer to freezer for 1 hour.

Ice Cream Layer

  • After the graham cracker crust is frozen, spread a layer of vanilla ice cream on top. Reserve some ice cream for serving.
  • Return pie to the freezer while you prepare the strawberry filling.

Pie Filling

  • Prepare strawberries and set 1 cup of quartered strawberries aside.
  • Add the remaining 3 cups to a small saucepan with sugar, water, corn starch and lemon juice.
  • Bring to a very low boil and simmer for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and cool in the refrigerator.
  • Add the reserved 2 cups of strawberries on top of the vanilla ice cream layer. Then pour the contents of the saucepan over the pie. Return pie to the freezer until everything sets!
  • Enjoy! We like to serve our pie with fresh mint, additional graham crackers, strawberries or ice cream.
