This strawberry lemonade pie is creamy, cool, refreshing, & low-carb!
This creamy pie is cool and refreshing and sweet and slightly tart. Inspiration for this pie came from Healthy Indulgences Key Lime Pie. Oh, it’s so good and velvety! Hop over there and make it! Amazing!
I confess that I had key lime cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory this past weekend. Healthy Indulgence’s pie is way better than Cheesecake Factory, hands down!
Since starting Trim Healthy Mama, I’ve fallen in love with all things lemon. Strawberry Lemon Pudding from their cookbook is a new favorite so I got to thinking of how I could make a strawberry lemon pie.
As I said, I love the key lime pie from Healthy Indulgences so I tweaked their recipe and came up with my perfect version of a strawberry lemonade pie.
A few notes before you get started…
- I use an immersion blender to blend my strawberries throughout, you can also use a regular blender or food-processor.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your personal preferences.
- The pie crust is very versatile and pairs well with other no-bake pie.
- This pie should be stored in the fridge and it tastes best chilled.

- Beat cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and free of lumps. Stir the xylitol and stevia into cream cheese, then beat with mixer until the texture is smooth.

This looks delicious! That key lime pie has been enjoyed by our family several times this summer. Love this idea!
Yes! I love the key lime pie! Strawberry Lemonade was the next logical progression. 🙂
Oh my gosh – this looks GREAT! I kept thinking: “How did she get her pudding so thick?” Cream cheese! DUH! 🙂 Thanks for linking at Trim Healthy Tuesday!
Trying this tonight! Thank you so much! 🙂
You’re welcome! I hope you like it as much as we do!
This looks fantastic! I have granulated xylitol, should I powder it then measure the given amounts? Or measure the xylitol then grind it to powder?
I would grind first and then measure. Enjoy!
