Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (6 ounces / 170g) lemonade concentrate, frozen and thawed
- 1 cup (240ml) whipped topping, thawed
- Zest of one lemon
- Optional garnish: thin lemon slices or extra graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand (about 3 minutes).
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and thawed lemonade concentrate until smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the lemon mixture using a spatula, keeping it light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Stir in the lemon zest to infuse fresh flavor.
- Pour the creamy lemon filling over the chilled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with thin lemon slices or sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top.
Notes
Do not overheat butter to avoid greasy crust. Crush graham crackers finely for better crust binding. Chill pie overnight for best texture and flavor melding. Fold whipped topping gently to keep filling airy. For dairy-free, substitute coconut condensed milk and whipped coconut cream. Fresh lemon juice with sugar can replace lemonade concentrate but may affect texture.
