Ingredients
Instructions
- Make the Bisquick pie crust according to the instructions on the box.
- Allow the crust to cool completely before filling.
- Spread the strawberry ice cream evenly over the cooled crust.
- Top with frozen strawberries, spreading them over the ice cream layer.
- Add a generous layer of Cool Whip on top of the strawberries.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of fresh sliced strawberries between the ice cream and frozen strawberries. If you're out of Cool Whip, homemade whipped cream can be a delightful substitute. Make sure to let the pie crust cool completely to prevent melting the ice cream too quickly. This pie is perfect for summer gatherings or as a refreshing dessert alongside Southern Corn Meal Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Strawberry Short Pie as a delightful end to a summer barbecue or picnic. It pairs beautifully with a refreshing mint tea or lemonade. You can also garnish with a few fresh strawberries on top for an extra touch of color. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Homemade Coconut Cream Pie for a dessert spread that guests will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. To serve, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to slice. Avoid storing it in the fridge, as the ice cream will melt.
