Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the filling.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries and the whipped topping or whipped cream, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the strawberry filling into the cooled crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the filling is fully set and chilled.
Add the Topping and Serve: Just before serving, decorate the pie by arranging the fresh sliced or halved strawberries on top. Add extra whipped topping if desired. Slice and enjoy your refreshing Strawberry Icebox Pie!

Notes

For a no-bake version, skip baking the crust and simply chill the crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour before adding the filling.
You can use frozen strawberries if fresh are unavailable, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the filling.
Ensure the pie is well chilled to help the filling set properly for clean slices.
