Instructions
To Make the Crust
- Grease a 9-inch pie pan and preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until combined.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, then bake for 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
To Make the Dulce de Leche Layer
- Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to a large mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Add about half of the whipped cream to the dulce de leche and carefully fold together until combined.
- Add the remaining whipped cream and carefully fold together until well combined.
- Pour the dulce de leche filling into the pie crust and spread into an even layer.
- Thinly slice a few strawberries and add a single layer of sliced strawberries on top of the dulce de leche layer. Then place in the freezer.
To Make the Strawberry Ice Cream Layer
- Cut strawberries in half until you have about 1 1/2 cups of halved strawberries. Add them to a food processor and puree until smooth. You should end up with about 3/4 cup of strawberry puree. Add the water to strawberry puree.
- Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan, then stir in the strawberry puree.
- Stir in the strawberry puree and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Allow to boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar for the strawberry ice cream to a large mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Add about half of the whipped cream to the sweetened condensed milk and carefully fold together until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Add the remaining whipped cream and carefully fold together until well combined.
- Fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped mixture to finish the strawberry ice cream filling.
- Spread the creamy strawberry ice cream filling evenly over the layer of strawberry slices in the pie.
- Freeze the pie until firm, 4-5 hours or overnight.
To Finish the Pie
- Finish off the pie just before serving. Add the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar for the whipped cream to a large mixer bowl fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until stiff peaks form.
- Drizzle some dulce de leche over the pie, then pipe swirls of whipped cream around the edge. Top with some halved strawberries, if desired.
- Freeze until ready to serve and enjoy within 1 week.
