A quick and easy no-bake frozen lemonade pie with a creamy, tangy filling made from sweetened condensed milk and fresh lemon juice, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 ounces or 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and feel like wet sand.
  2. Press the crumb mixture into a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish, about 1 inch up the sides. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove and let cool completely.
  3. In a large chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until fully blended and slightly thickened.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into the lemon mixture to keep it light and airy.
  6. Pour filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Before serving, let pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. To keep filling light and creamy, fold whipped cream gently. The crust can be made ahead and stored at room temperature for 1-2 days. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk. To get clean slices, dip knife in hot water before cutting.
