A refreshing and creamy frozen lemonade pie with a crunchy no-bake graham cracker crust, perfect for summer days and easy entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 oz / 355 ml) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz / 396g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz (about 1 cup / 240 ml) whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand, about 5 minutes.
  2. Press the crust: Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie pan. Press firmly and evenly over the bottom and up the sides to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set. (Optional: bake at 350°F / 175°C for 8-10 minutes for a crunchier crust.)
  3. Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add thawed frozen lemonade concentrate and sweetened condensed milk. Beat until fully combined and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in whipped topping until the mixture is light and airy but well combined.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  6. Serving: Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice with a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Soften cream cheese properly before mixing to avoid lumps. Fold whipped topping gently to keep airy texture. Chill crust well to prevent crumbling. Warm knife before slicing for clean cuts. Can bake crust for crunchier texture if desired. Cover pie well when freezing to avoid freezer burn.
