No-Bake Strawberry & Graham Cracker Pie

No-Bake Strawberry Graham Cracker Pie

Right now strawberries are in season and plentiful. The stores have some great buys. We love their many uses at our house and sort of stumbled upon a new dessert.

Whenever my kids go camping we have to have S'Mores. I must say that they are not one of my most favorite things due to the dryness of the graham crackers. So when we get home and unpack...we end up finding we have roasted all of the marshmallows, and the chocolate is long gone. So what do we do with all of those grahams?

Make a pie crust!

I found some disposable pie tins in the cabinet and an entire tub of non-dairy whipped topping in the freezer from a prior dessert that we had never used. So we made a layered pie.  

The ingredients you will need:

1 box Honey Grahams (generic is fine)
6 pints fresh strawberries
1 large tub whipping topping
9 tbsp honey or agave syrup
(Makes 3 pies)


Feel free to test this out by making only one pie. I used just one of the packs of grahams per pie so it's pretty easy to adjust to taste,

To prepare:
The bottom layer of grahams need to be crushed and I did not mix them with butter as we are trying to be healthy. I simply drizzle 2 tbsp. of honey over the top for the sticky and sweet factor. This also gives the strawberries something to adhere to!

To make this healthy it's smart to triple the fruit factor and use a non-fat or sugar free topping. You know what's best!

Layer the strawberries over the grahams and then smother them with whipped topping. Do this again and finish off the top with sliced strawberries on top. Make a pattern if you would like it to look pretty. It's up to you!

Hint:  This would also work well as a trifle.
