Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup lemonade concentrate
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust. Press the graham cracker crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a pie dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to help it set before adding the filling.
- Mix the filling. In a mixing bowl, gently fold together the sweetened condensed milk, thawed whipped topping, and lemonade concentrate until well combined while maintaining a light and fluffy texture.
- Add lemon zest. Stir in fresh lemon zest to the filling to enhance the citrus aroma and deepen the lemon flavor profile.
- Assemble the pie. Pour the creamy filling into the chilled crust, spreading it evenly to ensure balanced slices.
- Freeze until firm. Cover the pie and freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely set to achieve the signature frozen texture.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon zest instead of dried to maximize flavor and aroma.
- Gently fold ingredients to keep the filling light and fluffy without overmixing.
- Chill the crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess.
- Taste the filling before freezing and adjust sweetness or tartness as freezing can dull flavors.
- For easier slicing, especially with a delicate crust, use a springform pan.
