A bright, tangy, and creamy frozen lemonade pie with a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for easy summer desserts and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, crushed finely)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 (8 oz / 225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14 oz / 396 g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • ¾ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4 large lemons)
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter and sugar until combined and holds together when pressed. Press firmly into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
  2. Make the Lemonade Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add sweetened condensed milk and mix until glossy. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract if using.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks.
  4. Fold the Cream into the Lemon Mixture: Gently fold whipped cream into lemon mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Assemble and Freeze: Pour filling into crust, smooth top, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  6. Serving: Let pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lemon zest, fresh berries, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Softening cream cheese properly avoids lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks only to avoid graininess. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Freeze at least 4 hours for best results. Let pie thaw 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
