If you don’t have time or the inclination to make your own crust, use a prepared cookie crust.
Vegetable cooking spray
1-1/2 cups shortbread cookie crumbs
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
¼ cup margarine or butter, melted
1 can, 14 oz, sweetened condensed milk (regular or fat-free)
½ cup lemon juice
8 oz carton frozen whipped topping, regular or fat-free
1 cup or more, to taste, pureed fresh or frozen strawberries
If making homemade crust, preheat oven to 350. Spray pie plate.
Combine cookie crumbs, nuts and margarine. Press onto bottom of pie plate and up sides to rim. Bake 8 minutes and cool.
Meanwhile, combine milk and lemon juice and blend.
Fold in topping and berries. Pour into crust. Freeze 4 hours or until firm.
Garnish this strawberry shortcake with fresh berries.
