A quick and easy no-bake pie featuring a buttery graham cracker crust and a creamy, tangy lemonade filling. Perfect for summer gatherings and a refreshing dessert without the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • Optional garnishes: lemon zest, fresh mint leaves, thin lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Finely crush 10 graham cracker sheets until you have about 1 ½ cups of crumbs. Mix the crumbs with ¼ cup sugar in a bowl.
  2. Add the 6 tablespoons of melted butter to the crumbs, stirring until the mixture looks like wet sand. Press this evenly and firmly into the bottom and up the sides of your 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly.
  3. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Mix in the thawed lemonade concentrate and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the 1 ½ cups of cold heavy cream to soft peaks.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture using a spatula to keep the airiness.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with your spatula.
  9. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Optional garnish: Just before serving, zest a little lemon over the top and add fresh mint leaves or thin lemon slices.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth filling. Do not overwhip cream; aim for soft peaks. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbling. Chill pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Folding whipped cream gently keeps the filling light and airy. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients as suggested.
