Instructions
 

Prepare the Crumbles

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Strawberry Crumbles: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry-flavored gelatin, flour, and butter. Use a fork to mix until crumbly.
  • Prepare the Vanilla Crumbles: In another medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix with a fork until the mixture forms crumbs.
  • Bake the Crumbles: Spread the strawberry crumbles on one half of the baking sheet and the vanilla crumbles on the other half. Bake for 7–8 minutes. Do not stir while baking.
  • Cool the Crumbles: Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour. If needed, break any large clumps into smaller pieces.

Prepare the Pie Filling

  • Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Mix the Cream Cheese and Condensed Milk: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Incorporate the Strawberry Puree: Add the strawberry puree to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
  • Combine the Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture, ensuring it remains light and airy.

Assemble the Pie

  • Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared filling into the 10-inch crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Freeze: Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to set for 4–5 hours.

Add the Crumbles

  • Top the Pie: Before serving, sprinkle the strawberry and vanilla crumbles generously over the frozen pie.
  • Serve: Allow the pie to thaw for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
