Strawberry-Pretzel Icebox Pie Recipe
Summer's favorite pie.
Summer's favorite pie.
This chilled, creamy strawberry icebox pie is the dessert equivalent of a swimming hole—so refreshing you can't help but dive in. Serve with lightly sweetened, sliced strawberries.
I love the flavor but my pie didn't set. It came out pretty liquid, even after 12 hours. I wonder if I misunderstood some of the instructions. I found these two notes to be confusing:
½ (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. strawberry gelatin (½ [3-oz.] package)
Are we saying 4oz or 8oz of cream cheese? I think a typical package of cream cheese is ONE 8oz brick. That's how my store sells them. So I could interpret this as 4oz. Video shows someone using 8oz.
Also are we saying 1.5 oz of jello or 3 oz? Jello comes in both 6oz and 3oz packages.
Also the video shows someone folding in 2 cups of whipped cream before freezing, whereas I followed the notes on only folded in 3/4 cups before freezing and added the rest after on top. I think that might have been the cause of my liquid issue.
Loved the flavor but would love more specifics and checks on measurements!
Came together really well and tasted delicious. My pie dish is more shallow than the deep dish shown so I had extra leftover following this recipe. The salty crust goes so well with the sweet and tangy strawberry flavor. Super easy and loved by all.
