Summer might be almost over, but it's still HOT and humid here in Virginia so our freezer is stocked with popsicles and lots of lemonade concentrate. Lemonade is my FAVORITE drink. So refreshing and delicious and is the key ingredient in making our sweet and tangy lemonade pie!
Lemonade Pie
We first had lemonade pie at a friend's house about ten years ago. My friend shared how she made it and it was so simple! You can use any kind of pie crust you'd like. I chose to make my own graham cracker crust because I LOVE the flavor, but you can pick up a pre-made one at the store for an even easier version of this pie. You can serve it chilled or partially frozen, depending on how you'd like the consistency. We serve ours chilled for a creamy and soft texture---like any other pudding based pie.
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 3 Tbsp. sugar
Filling
- 2 (3.4 oz.) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 8 oz. whipped topping
- ¾ cup thawed lemonade concentrate
How To Make Lemonade Pie
Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar in a bowl. Reserve a tablespoon of the mixture to sprinkle over pie (optional).
Press mixture into 9-inch pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
Whisk instant pudding mixes and milk together until smooth.
Fold in whipped topping (reserve a large spoonful to spread over pie---optional) and thawed lemonade concentrate.
Pour mixture into prepared pie crust.
Spread reserved whipped topping over pie and sprinkle with reserved graham cracker crumb mixture (optional).
Chill 4-6 hours. Texture of the pie will be soft.
Notes: this pie can be made with reduced fat whipped topping and milk without affecting the texture.
