Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Icebox Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your work surface.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly mixed.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Allow the crust to cool completely on a wire rack while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract.
- Fold in the sliced fresh strawberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to crush them.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and strawberry mixture until just blended.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
- Garnish the top with additional fresh strawberries before serving.
