Frozen Lemonade Pie is a refreshing and creamy dessert featuring a tangy lemon filling set in a crisp graham cracker crust. Perfectly chilled and easy to prepare, this pie offers a bright, zesty flavor with a smooth texture, ideal for cooling down on hot summer days and impressing guests at any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2–3 lemons)
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this firmly into a 9-inch pie pan to create an even, compact base. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk with fresh lemon juice. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes glossy. Fold in whipped topping gently to maintain airiness and create a light texture.
  3. Assemble the pie: Pour the lemon filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish. If desired, sprinkle lemon zest over the surface for an inviting look and extra flavor.
  4. Freeze until set: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm and scoopable. This ensures the perfect frozen texture that melts in your mouth.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the pie from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly. Slice with a warm knife for clean pieces and dig in!

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice: Freshly squeezed juice makes the biggest difference in flavor brightness.
  • Chill your mixing bowl and whisk: This helps keep the whipped topping light and fluffy.
  • Don’t skip the crust chilling: It helps the crust set solidly and prevents sogginess.
  • Cover tightly before freezing: Prevent freezer burn and unwanted odors by sealing your pie well.
  • Warm your knife before slicing: Run your blade under hot water for easy, clean cuts.
