Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 (6 oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust (9-inch)
Optional Garnishes
- Lemon zest
- Fresh lemon slices
Instructions
- Combine lemonade and condensed milk: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed lemonade concentrate and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture is fully blended and smooth.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the lemonade mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, taking care not to deflate it.
- Pour filling into crust: Pour the creamy filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
- Refrigerate the pie: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow it to set and become firm.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the pie with lemon zest or fresh lemon slices if desired, adding a fresh citrus aroma and decorative appeal.
Notes
- For an extra citrusy punch, stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon zest into the filling mixture before pouring into the crust.
- You can freeze the pie for a firmer texture—just thaw for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- This pie is best served well chilled and ideally within 2 days for freshness.
