Description

Strawberry Icebox Pie is a delightful, no-bake dessert that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with a creamy filling, all nestled in a buttery crust. It’s a perfect treat for warm days when you want something refreshing without turning on the oven.


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Optional: additional whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
    • Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
    • Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
    • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
    • Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, beating until well combined.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
    • Fold in the sliced strawberries.
  3. Assemble the Pie:
    • Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
    • Arrange the halved strawberries on top of the filling for decoration.
    • Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  4. Serve:
    • Once set, slice the pie and serve chilled.
    • If desired, garnish with additional whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a twist, consider using a pretzel crust instead of graham crackers to add a salty contrast to the sweet filling.
  • This pie can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
