Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3–4 lemons) or bottled lemon juice
- 1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
Instructions
- Crush about 10 sheets of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and granulated sugar until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Compact firmly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, thawed lemonade concentrate, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemonade mixture to keep it light and airy.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices if desired. Slice and enjoy.
Notes
Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture. Use a sharp, wet knife to slice clean pieces. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with coconut cream. For gluten-free, use almond flour crust.
