Description

This No-Bake Lemonade Pie is a delightfully tangy and creamy dessert that’s perfect for warm days or any time you need a quick and refreshing treat. Combining the smoothness of cream cheese, the sweetness of condensed milk, and the zesty brightness of lemonade concentrate, this pie requires no oven time and is easy to make. With a graham cracker crust and optional lemon garnishes, it’s a crowd-pleaser that sets beautifully in the refrigerator.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Garnish (Optional)

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh lemon slices


Instructions

  1. Beat cream cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add milks and lemonade: Add the sweetened condensed milk and thawed lemonade concentrate to the bowl. Continue to beat until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, creating a tangy and creamy base.
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, mixing just until incorporated to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the lemon mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with the spatula to create a smooth surface.
  5. Chill to set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing it to firm up and the flavors to meld together.
  6. Garnish: Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with lemon zest and fresh lemon slices for an extra pop of citrus and attractive presentation.
  7. Serve: Slice the pie and enjoy this refreshing no-bake dessert, perfect for summertime or any occasion.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Do not overmix after folding in the whipped topping to maintain a light texture.
  • If you prefer a tarter pie, you can add a bit more lemonade concentrate or a splash of fresh lemon juice.
  • This pie should be stored in the refrigerator and is best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
  • Using a homemade graham cracker crust can add a personal touch, but store-bought works well for convenience.
