Strawberry Icebox Pie Ingredients: 1 Graham Cracker Crust 1 can of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk 1 regular-size container of Cool Whip 1 can of Strawberry Pie Filling or 1 cup of fresh diced strawberries (add 1/4 cup sugar if using fresh strawberries)

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries (If Using Fresh Ones)

✅ If you’re using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and dice them into small pieces.
✅ In a bowl, mix the strawberries with ¼ cup of sugar to bring out their natural juices.
✅ Let them sit for about 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.

(If using canned strawberry pie filling, you can skip this step.)

Step 2: Make the Creamy Filling

1️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk.
2️⃣ Gently fold in the Cool Whip using a spatula. Stir until well combined and smooth.
3️⃣ Add the strawberry pie filling (or sugared fresh strawberries) into the mixture. Stir until the strawberries are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

✅ Pour the strawberry cream mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
✅ Smooth out the top using a spatula for a nice, even layer.

Step 4: Chill & Set the Pie

✅ Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
✅ Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow it to firm up.
✅ For a firmer, ice cream-like texture, freeze the pie for about 2-3 hours before serving.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve!

🎨 Garnish Ideas:

Fresh strawberry slices
Whipped cream swirls
A drizzle of chocolate or strawberry syrup
A sprinkle of crushed graham crackers

🍽 Serving Tip:

If the pie was frozen, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between slices for perfect servings.

✔ Extra Fruity Flavor: Add extra diced strawberries on top before chilling for even more fresh strawberry taste.

✔ Make It Lighter: Use light Cool Whip and fat-free sweetened condensed milk for a lower-calorie version.
