This no-bake dessert is perfect for a CHILL 4th of July celebration, just like my favorite Patriotic Snow Cones Recipe! The homemade ice cream filling comes together in minutes and freezes into a creamy, scoop-shop-style texture thanks to the combination of whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk.

The fresh strawberries and blueberries not only add patriotic color, but also provide bursts of juicy flavor throughout every slice. Since the berries are layered throughout the pie, you get fruit in every bite rather than just on top. Best of all, this dessert can be made a full day ahead, making party planning easier and less stressful.

It’s such a great recipe to get fueled for the 4th!

🧾 Ingredients Needed

heavy whipping cream
sweetened condensed milk
vanilla
blueberries

sliced graham cracker pie crust (regular, not deep dish, though deep dish will work as well)

🔁 Variations

Use raspberries in place of some of the strawberries for added flavor!
Swap the vanilla extract for almond extract for a different taste profile.
Mix crushed patriotic-colored cookies into the filling to further tie in with the theme!

🥣 How to Make

STEP ONE: Place heavy whipping cream in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Add vanilla extract. This can also be done with a hand blender with a whisk attachment, but it will take much longer. Blend for 4 minutes on low speed, then increase to 6 as it thickens. Once it resembles whipped topping, then it’s ready.

STEP TWO: Fold in the can of sweetened condensed milk. Place some blueberries and sliced strawberries into the pie crust. Pour some of the ice cream mixture in. Add more berries and more ice cream!

STEP THREE: Top the ice cream pie with strawberries and blueberries. Wash the pie crust lid, flip it, and place it on the pie. Press down the metal edging. Freeze pie overnight. Once frozen overnight, cut with a warm knife and serve!

⭐ Pro Tips ⭐

Make sure the whipped cream reaches stiff peaks before folding in the condensed milk. Fold gently to maintain the light and fluffy texture!
Dry the berries well after washing to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze overnight for the cleanest slices. Make sure to warm your knife between cuts for bakery-style slices!
Cover tightly if storing for more than 1 day to prevent freezer odors.
