A no-bake, creamy frozen lemonade pie that combines tangy lemon flavor with a smooth, airy texture, perfect for a refreshing summer dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–5 medium lemons)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture looks like wet sand and holds together when pressed (about 5 minutes).
  2. Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it evenly. Place in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, mixing until fully combined and silky smooth (2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. The mixture will thicken slightly and smell fresh and tart.
  5. In a separate chilled bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes on medium-high speed).
  6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy (about 2 minutes).
  7. Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil.
  8. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to achieve a creamy frozen texture.
  9. Remove the pie from the freezer about 10 minutes before slicing to soften slightly. Garnish with extra lemon zest, thin lemon slices, or fresh mint if desired.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream for stable peaks. Fold whipped cream gently to keep air in the filling. Freeze at least 4 hours for best texture. Fresh lemon juice and zest are recommended for best flavor. The pie benefits from being made a day ahead.
