Strawberry Icebox Pie

Easy No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Pie Recipe

  • Total Time: 6 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

A creamy and refreshing icebox pie featuring a homemade graham cracker crust and a rich, no-bake filling made with fresh strawberries and cream cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 (1 lb.) container strawberries, stems removed
1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: To make the crust, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Step 2: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  3. Step 3: Place the stemmed strawberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Pour the strawberry purée into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the purée reduces to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely to room temperature.
  5. Step 5: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a hand or stand mixer and set aside.
  6. Step 6: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Step 7: Add the cooled strawberry reduction to the cream cheese mixture and beat until the mixture is fully blended and pink.
  8. Step 8: Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until it is smooth and airy.
  9. Step 9: Spoon the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set.

Notes

Ensure the strawberry reduction is completely cooled to room temperature before adding it to the cream cheese mixture to prevent the filling from becoming runny.

For the pie to set properly, it must be refrigerated for at least 6 hours or overnight.
