- 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 teaspoon of pure lemon extract
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box of lemon-flavored instant pudding mix
- 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
- 1 (9-ounce) premade graham cracker crust
Substitutions And Additions
LEMON: For even tangier lemon flavors, you can add 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon zest to the lemon pie filling.
LEMONADE: You can substitute strawberry lemonade concentrate or pink lemonade concentrate for a fun variation on this easy dessert.
How To Make This Lemonade Pie Recipe
Once you make the creamy lemonade filling, spread it in the pie crust and chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve it.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This no-bake lemonade pie recipe is best made the day before since it requires plenty of chilling time.
STEP ONE: Using a medium bowl and an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, thawed lemonade concentrate, and lemon extract for 1½ to 2 minutes until smooth.
PRO TIP:
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that you don’t end up with lumps in your delicious dessert.
STEP TWO: Lower the mixer speed to low and add the instant lemon pudding mix. Increase the mixer speed to medium and mix for 1 to 1½ minutes until the pudding mixture is smooth and starting to thicken.
STEP THREE: Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
STEP FOUR: Spread the pie filling into the premade graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
PRO TIP:
For an easy cover for your creamy dessert, keep the clear plastic insert that covers the pie shell. Simply remove the paper insert that is hot glued to the clear cover, and flip it over to create a dome over the pie plate.
