Ingredients for lemonade pie

Just a few ingredients needed to make this lemonade pie with cream cheese.

Whipped topping, cream cheese, lemonade concentrate, evaporated milk, and graham cracker crust.
  • Cream cheese – Softened cream cheese is the base of this pie filling.
  • Sweetened condensed milk – This adds sweetness and helps to create a creamy consistency to the filling.
  • Frozen lemonade concentrate – This is where all the delicious lemon flavor comes from. Use the concentrate straight from the can, do not dilute it with water.
  • Frozen whipped topping – Fold in the thawed whipped topping to help give the pie a light and airy texture.
  • Graham cracker crust – I like using a prepared graham cracker crust. You can use a full size or mini crusts.

This pie is wonderful on it’s own but you can add a garnish if you like. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Whipped cream – A little whipped cream adds another layer of cool creaminess.
  • Lemon slices – Small, thin lemon wedge or slices add color and freshness.
  • Lemon zest – Lemon zest adds extra lemon flavor.
  • Fresh berries – Fresh berries like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries add color and pair well with the lemon.

How to make lemonade pie

Step one: Using an electric mixer, cream together the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk.

If you would like to make frozen lemonade pie, place the pie in the freezer for 2 hours before serving.

Heather’s recipe tips

  • The most important tip is to soften the cream cheese to room temperature. This will ensure a creamy and smooth texture.
  • Thaw the lemonade and whipped topping for a smooth texture.
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
  • Use individual pie crusts or a standard premade 10 inch graham cracker crust.

Variations and substitutions

This is an easy recipe to try different variations. Here are a few:

Pink lemonade pie: Use frozen pink lemonade with a couple drops of pink food coloring for a fun pink lemonade version.

Limeade pie: Substitute lemonade with limeade concentrate.

Orange creamsicle pie: Substitute with orange juice concentrate.
