Ingredients
For this irresistible Strawberry Icebox Pie, you will need a handful of simple yet perfectly complementary ingredients. Start with a pre-made graham cracker crust, which serves as the buttery and slightly crunchy base of the pie. For the filling, you’ll need a can of sweetened condensed milk, adding a rich and velvety sweetness to the dessert. A container of Cool Whip, light and airy, is folded into the mix to create a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
To infuse the filling with vibrant strawberry flavor, choose between a can of strawberry pie filling for convenience or fresh strawberries mixed with sugar to highlight their natural sweetness. Add a small boost of tangy and fruity notes with 3 1/2 teaspoons of dry strawberry Jello mix. Finally, 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice ties all the flavors together, adding a touch of brightness that balances the sweetness. For optional garnishes, fresh strawberry slices and dollops of whipped cream can elevate the pie’s presentation and flavor.
