Frozen Lemonade Pie Recipe
There’s nothing quite like a homemade lemonade pie to beat the summer heat and satisfy your sweet tooth. With its tangy and refreshing flavors, this pie is the ultimate dessert for those hot summer days. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make! All you need are a few simple ingredients, like graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, frozen lemonade concentrate, and whipped topping. With just a little bit of prep and a few hours in the freezer, you’ll have a delicious lemony pie that will impress your friends and family at your next backyard barbecue or picnic. It’s also great as a treat for hot afternoons since it’s chilled! After a day in the sun, my kids can never get enough. So, I always have to make sure I snag a piece (or two) for myself.
Ingredients You’ll Need
I love lemonade pie because not only is it refreshing and delicious, but it uses super simple ingredients. You can find measurements for each of them in the recipe card below!
Crust
Graham Cracker Crumbs: Give the crust structure and a delicious nutty flavor. Granulated Sugar: For sweetness! Melted Butter: Butter adds a rich flavor to the crust and also helps it take shape.
Filling
Sweetened Condensed Milk: If a dessert has condensed milk in it, you know it has to be good. Cream Cheese: Acts as a creamy, tangy base for the filling. Frozen Lemonade Concentrate: Using frozen concentrate is an easy way to add the perfect lemony flavor to the pie. Whipped Topping: This is mixed into the filling for some extra creamy goodness! You can also use some homemade whipped cream instead.
Let’s Make Lemonade Pie!
Both the crust and the filling for this lemonade pie are so easy to make. If you’re making this pie for an event, be sure to allow yourself enough time for it to chill and set completely before serving.
To Make the Crust:
Filling
Ensure a Sturdy Crust: To achieve the perfect graham cracker crust, make sure to press the crumb mixture firmly into the pie dish. This will help the crust hold its shape when you cut and serve the pie. You can use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to evenly press the crumbs into the dish. Soften Your Cream Cheese: Softening the cream cheese is crucial for achieving a smooth and creamy filling. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator in advance and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to an hour. This will make it easier to blend with the other ingredients and prevent any lumps in the filling. Swap Out the Crust: Instead of graham cracker crumbs, try using crushed Nilla Wafers! Make it Lime: Use frozen limeade concentrate for a lime version of this tasty pie!
In the Refrigerator: Store covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days.
