Indulge in the creamy, fruity charm of an Icebox Strawberry Pie, a no-bake dessert that's as effortless as it is delightful. This recipe combines a buttery graham cracker crust with a luscious cream cheese filling, kissed with fresh lemon juice and vanilla for a bright, velvety finish. Crowned with juicy, sliced strawberries and a glossy strawberry preserve glaze, this pie is a stunning centerpiece for any gathering. Perfect for warm-weather occasions, it requires just 25 minutes of prep time before it sets in the refrigerator to achieve its irresistibly cool and creamy texture. Serve this show-stopping dessert chilled, and savor the perfect balance of sweetness and tang in every bite.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating continuously until well combined.
Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract, blending until smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm.
Before serving, arrange the sliced strawberries in a circular pattern on top of the pie, starting from the outer edge and working towards the center.
Warm the strawberry preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly thinned, then gently brush the preserves over the strawberries to glaze.
Return the pie to the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes, or until the glaze is set. Slice and serve chilled.
