Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and budget-friendly frozen pie combining creamy cream cheese with tangy lemonade concentrate, perfect for summer and no-bake dessert cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (12 fl oz / 355 ml) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened and press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the cream: In a chilled bowl, beat cold heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Make the filling base: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  4. Add lemonade concentrate: Slowly pour in thawed lemonade concentrate while mixing on low speed until smooth and tangy.
  5. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to keep it light and fluffy.
  6. Assemble the pie: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Freeze: Place the pie in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours or until firm. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Softening cream cheese properly avoids lumps. Use cold heavy cream and chill the bowl for better whipping. Fold whipped cream gently to keep airy texture. Press crust firmly but not too hard. Freeze at least 3 hours. Let pie thaw 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
