It requires minimal ingredients and zero baking, making it a go-to crowd-pleaser for cooks at any skill level.
Why This Frozen Lemonade Pie is a Must-Try
The frozen lemonade pie offers a perfect balance of sweet and tart, enveloped in a smooth, creamy filling with a buttery graham cracker crust. Each bite is vibrant yet light, making it an ideal way to beat the heat on hot days. Plus, because you can make it ahead and keep it in the freezer, it’s a stress-free dessert for any occasion.
Effortless Creamy Lemonade Filling
Achieving the luscious, lemonade-inspired filling is a breeze. Start by juicing fresh lemons, or use high-quality bottled lemon juice if pressed for time. The tangy juice is combined with sweetened condensed milk and whipped topping, resulting in a luscious mixture with the perfect consistency.
For this step, using a powerful Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender ensures that your filling is blended until completely smooth and airy, guaranteeing an even texture in every slice.
Assembling and Setting Your Lemonade Pie
Pour your creamy filling into a prepared graham cracker crust and smooth out the top for a picture-perfect appearance. A spatula or the back of a spoon makes quick work of even spreading, but using a Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll to line your pie plate before pressing in the crust helps create easy release and makes serving effortless.
Once assembled, place the pie in the freezer for several hours or overnight. For the cleanest slices, let the pie rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting.
Serving Suggestions: Make it Extra Special
Add finishing touches with whipped cream dollops, lemon zest, or a few thin lemon slices on top. To keep your servings tidy at a party or picnic, prep slices ahead and store them in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, which are perfect for keeping desserts cold and fresh.
Pair your lemonade pie with a cold beverage. The Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler keeps your drinks chilled and is handy for outdoor entertaining.
