A refreshing no-bake frozen lemonade pie with a buttery graham cracker crust and creamy, tangy lemon filling. Perfect for summer gatherings and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can (14 oz or 396g) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from 2 medium lemons
  • ½ cup (120g) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons (15-22g) powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs (about 1 ½ cups or 150g) using a food processor or rolling pin in a resealable bag.
  2. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter until evenly coated and crumbly like damp sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish to form the crust.
  4. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 1 can (14 oz or 396g) sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup (120ml) fresh lemon juice, zest from 2 lemons, ½ cup (120g) sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons (15-22g) powdered sugar if desired. Blend with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  8. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Garnish with extra lemon zest or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use fresh lemons for best flavor; press crust firmly to avoid crumbling; fold filling gently to keep it light; freeze uncovered for first hour to avoid condensation; let pie soften before slicing for cleaner cuts; can be made up to a week ahead and stored in freezer; dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions available.
