Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the juice of the 2 lemons with the can of Eagle Brand milk.
- Stir until thick.
- Pour the lemon/milk mixture into the graham cracker crust.
- Mix strawberries and Cool Whip together.
- Pour the strawberry mixture over the lemon/milk filling.
- Chill until set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a firmer filling, allow the lemon and milk mixture to thicken longer before pouring it into the crust. If you can't find frozen strawberries, fresh strawberries can be used instead, just blend them with a bit of sugar for sweetness. This pie can also be adapted with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a twist, similar to the No Bake Strawberry Yogurt Pie.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this refreshing pie chilled, topped with additional whipped cream for extra indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light fruit salad on the side. For a festive touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon zest to enhance the presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain its texture, avoid freezing the pie as the cream may separate. If you do freeze it, allow it to thaw in the fridge overnight before serving again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?
Yes, fresh strawberries can be used instead of frozen ones. Simply wash, hull, and slice them, then toss with a little sugar to enhance their flavor. This works well to keep the pie vibrant and fresh tasting.
How long does it take for the pie to set?
Chilling the pie for at least 2-4 hours is recommended for it to set properly. If you can, allow it to chill overnight for the best results, ensuring that the filling is firm and sliceable.
Is there a way to make this pie dairy-free?
To make a dairy-free version, substitute the Eagle Brand milk with a coconut or almond milk sweetened condensed milk alternative. Additionally, use a dairy-free whipped topping in place of the Cool Whip for a delicious, creamy texture.
