Description
A bright, tangy, and creamy no-bake frozen lemonade pie that’s perfect for summer gatherings. This easy recipe combines a graham cracker crust with a smooth cream cheese and lemonade filling for a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1 (6 oz/170g) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 ½ cups (about 360ml) whipped topping, thawed
- Fresh lemon zest from 1 lemon (optional)
- Fresh lemon slices or mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add lemonade concentrate: Pour in thawed frozen lemonade concentrate and beat just until combined.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep the airy texture intact.
- Assemble the pie: Spoon the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle fresh lemon zest on top if desired.
- Freeze: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve: Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Garnish with lemon slices or fresh mint.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Fold whipped topping gently to keep filling light and airy. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Thaw lemonade concentrate just enough to be pourable but still cold. Freeze pie overnight for best texture. Use a warm knife dipped in hot water for clean slices.
