Mrs. Ruth’s No Bake Strawberry Icebox Pie

Cool, creamy, and no-bake — this Strawberry Icebox Pie layers a cream cheese filling with fresh strawberries, pecans, and Mrs. Ruth's Simply Strawberry Jam in a golden graham cracker crust. Freeze until ready to serve.

Prep: 20 min  |  Cook: None  |  Total: 20 min  |  Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 2 prepared graham cracker crusts (chocolate graham cracker crust also works great)
  • 1 (4 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (such as Eagle Brand)
  • 1 cup whipped cream or prepared whipped topping
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, mashed or sliced
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 (10 oz) jar Mrs. Ruth's Simply Strawberry Jam
  • ½ cup whipped cream, for garnish
  • ½ cup prepared fudge sauce (optional)

Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Fold in the mashed or sliced strawberries and chopped pecans.
  4. Gently fold in the whipped cream or whipped topping until just combined.
  5. If using fudge sauce, spread an even layer across the bottom of each crust.
  6. Divide the filling evenly between the two crusts.
  7. Spoon Mrs. Ruth's Simply Strawberry Jam generously over the top of each pie.
  8. Freeze until firm and ready to serve.
  9. Garnish with whipped cream just before serving, if desired.

Tips & Notes

  • Make it ahead: This pie is ideal for making 1–2 days in advance — it only gets better as it sets in the freezer.
  • Crust options: Chocolate graham cracker crust adds a rich contrast to the strawberry filling and is especially good with the optional fudge sauce layer.
  • Strawberry prep: Mashing the strawberries gives a creamier filling; slicing them keeps more texture. Either works beautifully.
  • Serving tip: Let the pie sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing for the cleanest cuts.
  • Storage: Keep covered in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Refrigerate any leftovers after serving.

Flavor Pairings We Love

  • Mrs. Ruth's Simply Strawberry Jam — the star of the topping, bright and jammy
  • Mrs. Ruth's Red Ruby Jam — for a deeper, richer berry flavor
  • Mrs. Ruth's Blueberry Lemon Basil Preserves — a citrusy twist on the topping
