• 10 whole graham crackers or 1 ½ cup crushed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup or 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 4 oz cool whip
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-quart vanilla ice cream
• 6 oz frozen lemonade concentrate
• Lemon flavoring oil or extract

Instructions

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a pie plate with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.

Start by making the homemade graham cracker crust. Place the graham crackers in a large Ziploc bag and seal it. Then using a rolling pin, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can also use a food processor.

Place the graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl and add in the butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Combine the ingredients together. Press the crust mixture into the pie plate.

Put the graham cracker pie crust into the oven and bake until the crust is done. Approximately 8 to 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped topping, vanilla extract, ice cream, lemonade concentrate, a few drops of lemon flavoring oil or extract and mix everything together.

Spread the lemonade mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Smooth out with an offset knife and cover the pie with plastic wrap.

Place your no bake lemonade pie in the freezer for at least 4 hours or until firm.

Before serving, garnish with lemon slices for an extra touch of citrus freshness.

• You can also use a pre-made graham cracker crust instead of making your own.
• You can substitute with pink lemonade concentrate.
• If you want the pie to be more colorful, you can add a bit of food coloring.
• While graham cracker crust is a classic choice, you can experiment with different crust variations. Try using crushed vanilla wafer cookies, shortbread cookies, or even a chocolate cookie crust for added decadence.
• Ensure that the pie is properly frozen before serving. The recommended freezing time is at least 4 hours, but you can leave it in the freezer overnight for a firmer texture.
• Remove the pie from the freezer a few minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly at room temperature. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
• Feel free to add additional garnishes like lemon zest, whipped cream, mint leaves, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

The freezing time can vary depending on the temperature of your freezer, but it generally takes around 4 to 6 hours for the pie to firm up. For the best results, leave it in the freezer overnight to ensure a solid and creamy texture.

Absolutely! Frozen lemonade pie is a great make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it a day or two in advance and keep it stored in the freezer until you’re ready to serve. Just make sure to cover it well with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Ideally, it’s best to enjoy the frozen lemonade pie within a week of making it. While it will remain safe to eat for a longer period if properly stored, the texture and flavor may deteriorate over time.
