A quick and easy no-bake pie with a tangy lemonade filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, perfect for summer dessert cravings without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full crackers, crushed finely)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a pin.
  2. Combine the crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed.
  3. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch pie dish. Press firmly and evenly across the bottom and up the sides. Set aside or chill in the fridge.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until combined.
  6. Slowly mix in sweetened condensed milk, lemonade concentrate, and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust lemon flavor if desired.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping it light and fluffy.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Garnish with lemon slices, zest, or fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid over-whipping. Chill pie at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives or almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut cream whipped topping and dairy-free cream cheese.
