A quick and easy no-bake frozen lemonade pie with a creamy, tangy filling and a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1012 full sheets), finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (full fat; coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • ¾ cup fresh lemon juice (about 45 medium lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, thin lemon slices or candied lemon peel, fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
  2. Press the crust: Transfer crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Firmly press crumbs evenly across the bottom and slightly up the sides (about 1-inch high). Chill in freezer for 10 minutes.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, sour cream or Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour and smooth: Pour filling evenly over chilled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  5. Freeze: Cover pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm but scoopable.
  6. Serve: Remove from freezer about 10 minutes before slicing to soften slightly. Garnish with whipped cream, lemon slices, or mint if desired.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Chill crust before adding filling to prevent sogginess. Avoid overmixing filling to keep creamy texture. Let pie soften 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
