This strawberry icebox pie with Oreo crust is such a creamy, dreamy summer dessert!
It’s really the ideal dessert for this time of year. The last thing any of us want to do during this heatwave is turn on the oven! My air conditioner is having a tough enough time trying to keep those 100-degree temperatures at bay.
So for those sticky hot days, cool off with this delicious no-bake strawberry icebox pie!
The filling is so creamy, cool and delicious and has just the right amount of sweetness to balance the semi-sweet bite of the OREO cookie crust.
Ingredients for Oreo Icebox Pie

- whipped topping
- Oreos, any flavor
- Oreo pie crust

How to Make Strawberry Icebox Pie
Start by crumbling your choice of Oreo cookies into chunks. I like looking through the limited edition flavors and choosing one of those, but you could absolutely use classic Oreo cookies.
In an electric mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and Cool Whip until smooth.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature so that you don’t have to beat the Cool Whip too much.
Next mix in the strawberry ice cream just until smooth and workable.
Spread half of the ice cream mixture over the Oreo pie crust.
Then sprinkle the cookie chunks over the ice cream layer and be generous! You want those cookies to peek through in every slice.
Spoon and smooth the remaining ice cream over the cookie layer making sure to go all the way to the edges.
Freeze for at least two hours before slicing.
This strawberry icebox pie is positively scrumptious!
