A quick and easy no-bake frozen lemonade pie featuring a tangy, creamy lemon filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh lemon juice (about 45 medium lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whipped topping, thawed (such as Cool Whip)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed, about 3 minutes.
  2. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Freeze the crust for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until well combined and silky, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thick.
  6. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping using a spatula until just combined, about 2 minutes.
  7. Pour the lemon filling into the chilled graham crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover loosely with plastic wrap.
  8. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight until firm.
  9. Remove the pie from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

Let cream cheese soften for at least 30 minutes before mixing to avoid lumps. Use fresh lemon juice and zest for best flavor. Fold whipped topping gently to keep filling airy. Press crust firmly and freeze before adding filling to keep it crunchy. Let pie thaw 10 minutes before slicing for easier cuts. Store covered in freezer up to 2 weeks.
