icebox pie

No-bake refrigerated pie

An icebox pie is a no-bake dessert with a crumb crust and a chilled filling that sets in the refrigerator rather than the oven.

The name comes from the icebox—the precursor to modern refrigerators.

Classic versions include key lime, lemon, and chocolate icebox pies: Grandma's icebox pie was always the highlight of summer cookouts.
