Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Crust

  • 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)

Garnish (optional)

  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Fresh lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Combine filling ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk and thawed lemonade concentrate to the bowl. Continue to beat until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Incorporate whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, mixing just until evenly incorporated to maintain a light texture.
  4. Fill the crust: Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly with a spatula to create a smooth surface.
  5. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly and develop its creamy consistency.
  6. Garnish before serving: Just before serving, decorate the pie with lemon zest and fresh lemon slices if desired, for a bright, fresh presentation.
  7. Serve: Slice the pie into 8 servings and enjoy this cool, refreshing no-bake dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Do not overmix when folding in the whipped topping to keep the filling light and airy.
  • The pie can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free graham cracker crust.
  • If fresh lemon slices are not available, lemon zest alone still adds a vibrant citrus flavor.
