Creating the Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate to form an even crust.
3. Make the Filling: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the remaining ¼ cup sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and creamy.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
5. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries into the cream mixture.
6. Fill the Crust: Spoon the strawberry filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
7. Freeze: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight for best results.
8. Slice: When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before slicing.
9. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, garnish each slice with additional whipped cream or fresh strawberry slices before serving.

These steps will ensure you create a stunning and delicious Strawberry Shortcake Freezer Pie that will surely impress anyone who tastes it!
