How to Make Icebox Strawberry Pie

  1. Combine 4 cups frozen strawberries in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until berries begin to release their juices, about 3 minutes.
  2. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency (about 25 minutes). Ensure you have exactly 2 cups of reduced berry mixture. Discard any excess.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup cold water, and 1 packet (1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin. Let stand until softened and thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir the gelatin mixture, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the cooked berry mixture. Return to a simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool completely to room temperature (about 30 minutes).
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups fresh sliced strawberries.
  7. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  8. For the topping: In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth (about 30 seconds).
  9. With the mixer running, gradually add 1 cup heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks form (about 2 minutes).
  10. Top the chilled pie with the whipped cream topping and serve immediately. Enjoy!
