Frozen Pink Squirrel Pie
Frozen Pink Squirrel Pie is a no-bake freezer pie inspired by the classic Pink Squirrel cocktail, with a creamy almond-cocoa filling, pale pink color, and cookie crumb crust. It’s an easy make-ahead dessert for summer parties.
Servings: 10
Equipment
- 9" pie plate
- electric beaters
- food processor optional
Ingredients
Graham cracker crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, about 10-11 full graham crackers
- 4 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- pinch salt, omit this if you use salted butter
Pie filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, brick style
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 Tbsp crème de noyaux
- 2 Tbsp white crème de cacao
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- pinch salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Topping, optional
- sweetened whipped cream, or whipped topping
- grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Toss the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, sugar, and salt, if using. Mix well until all of the crumbs are evenly saturated.
- Gently press the crumbs into your 9" pie plate, patting down to get an even surface on the bottom and up the sides. Press it in firmly. Set aside.
- I mix the filling in my food processor, but you can use electric beaters if you prefer. Load the bowl with all the filling ingredients except the heavy cream.
- Process until smooth and well combined. You may need to scrape down the sides to get everything evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl whip the cup of heavy cream to firm peaks. Combine the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture, folding gently until everything is combined and there are no white streaks left.
- Spoon the filling into the pie crust and spread out. Freeze, uncovered, until firm. Then lightly wrap in plastic and continue freezing for 6 hours or overnight.
- If you are adding the whipped cream topping, pipe or dollop it onto the pie and dust with grated nutmeg an hour or two before serving and place back in the freezer. Alternatively you can just garnish each slice as you serve it.
- Let the pie sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve with whipped cream and grated nutmeg.
Notes
You can use a ready-made graham cracker crust for convenience.
