Keep cool with this Minty Strawberry-Lime Icebox Pie that is easy to make and full of fresh & fruity flavors. It’s perfect for warmer weather!
This Minty Strawberry-Lime Icebox Pie Recipe is an easy icebox pie recipe. You won’t have to bake this pie so it’s great for when the weather is warm and the flavors are to die for. As I’ve shared many times before, I’m crazy about mint! It goes along so well with strawberries and lime, so a Minty Strawberry-Lime Icebox Pie was a must try and I have to say that I love how it turned out
To make this pie, I highly recommend using a food processor. Not only does it make this recipe so easy, but it really helps to blend up all the flavors. If you don’t have a food processor, you could also use a blender.
After the strawberries, mint, and lime are smooth, you’ll blend in the ice cream. Give it a taste…it’s pretty amazing.
The mixture is poured into a pre-made graham cracker pie sheet and then you’ll freeze the pie until frozen. Easy, right? The hardest part is making room in your freezer for it, but hey, if I could do it with bags of frozen peas falling out, you can do it too.
Just before serving, remove pie from the freezer and allow to sit on kitchen counter for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Decorate the top of the pie generously with whipped cream, chopped strawberries and additional mint. Then, cut into wedges and serve!
Here is the complete recipe for my Minty Strawberry-Lime Icebox Pie — if you aren’t ready for it yet, but want to save it, I recommend pinning this post on Pinterest.
PrintMinty Strawberry-Lime Icebox Pie
Ingredients
- 8 ounces strawberries (hulled)
- 1/4 cup mint leaves
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 cups strawberry ice cream (softened)
- 1 inches pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9)
- 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
- 2-3 tablespoons powered sugar (depends on your desired sweetness)
- Optional garnishes: chopped strawberries (mint sprigs)
Instructions
- In a food processor, place strawberries, mint, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth. Add ice cream to strawberry mixture and process until blended and smooth.
- Pour mixture into pre-made graham cracker pie crust. Freeze until frozen (6 hours to overnight).
- Just before serving, remove pie from freezer and allow to soften slightly for about 10 minutes. During this time, make your whipped cream by placing whipping cream in a cold bowl and beating with a hand mixer on high (or in a stand mixer), until peaks begin to form. Sprinkle in sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Spread whipping cream on top of the frozen pie and garnish with chopped strawberries and mint leaves, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve.
