Materials
Strawberry Cream Pie
- 16 oz. container Fresh Strawberries Cut into thin slices
- 2 tbsp. Sugar
- 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice

For pie crust:
- 1 1/2 cup Vanilla Wafer Crumbs (or graham cracker crumbs if you prefer)
- 6 tbsp. Butter Melted
Instructions
- Wash and cut up your strawberries into thin wedges and place them in a medium-size bowl. Add 2 Tbsp. sugar and stir.
- Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, to allow strawberries to break down and form a little syrup/juice. You can even do this the day before if you have time.
- Meantime, you can make the crust.
- Place vanilla wafers into a food processor to grind them into a powder, or place them in a large ziplock back and break them up by running a rolling pin back & forth across the sealed bag.
- Place crumbs into a bowl, add melted butter, and mix well.
- Dump mixture into pie plate and press down with a spoon or fingers to form pie crust.
- You should have an even layer of crust on the bottom and sides of your pie plate. Set aside.
- When strawberries have been set long enough, add 1Tbsp. lemon juice to them and stir.
- Empty the Coolwhip container into a large mixing bowl.
- Fold in strawberry mixture until evenly mixed.
- Then take the strawberry/Coolwhip mixture and pour it into the pie crust, using a knife or spatula to spread it across evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie for two hours to allow it to set. When it's time to serve, garnish it with fresh strawberries and enjoy!
