FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
It is. It helps to thicken the filling and makes the pie easier to slice while adding a little more richness and slightly more tang to this fantastic pie.
Yes. I think the graham cracker pie crust compliments the flavors of this pie but you can use a traditional pie crust if desired.
This pie recipe makes quite a bit, so you don’t want to use a smaller one. If making your own pie crust, be sure to use a 10-inch pie plate. Nothing smaller or you’ll have some leftover. The filling isn’t quite enough for two pies.
Absolutely! Just grab any other concentrated juice flavor and enjoy. I think an orange flavored pie would be delicious!
YES! And it’s a great idea to do so. If you freeze it and serve it slightly frozen, it makes the pie even more refreshing and delicious. Perfect for a hot day. You can freeze your pie for up to 3 months.
I don’t recommend it. Homemade whipped cream won’t stay stabilized well enough for long enough with this recipe. Unless you have a foolproof stabilized whipped cream recipe, I’d stick with the Cool Whip.
Lemonade pie should be covered with plastic wrap or transferred to an airtight container and kept in the fridge for up to a week.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)
- cream cheese – its very important that this be at room temperature or else your batter will be very lumpy. I like to put the cream cheese out on the counter the evening before I’m going to make this.
- sweetened condensed milk – not to be confused with evaporated milk, you can find sweetened condensed milk in the baking section of your grocery store (it will be in a can – see my ingredient picture below).
- frozen lemonade concentrate – you can find this where the containers of frozen orange juice is located in the freezer section of your grocery store.
- whipped topping (Cool Whip) – if you aren’t familiar, you buy whipped topping frozen so you’ll find it in the freezer section of the grocery store. You have to let this thaw before you can use it so make sure you put it in the refrigerator the night before you need to use it.
- graham cracker crust – you need to look for the 10″ pie crust. This is the graham cracker crust. You can also make it homemade. See my recipe for cheesecake to get the recipe for a homemade graham cracker crust.
HOW TO MAKE LEMONADE PIE:
In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until completely smooth, scrape down the sides as needed. Add the thawed lemonade and mix until combined.
Add the whipped topping and whip until smooth with no streaks.
Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight to set.
