    Ingredient Notes

    1. Frozen Lemonade - You can use classic lemonade or even a different flavor like strawberry, raspberry, etc. Make sure to buy the frozen concentrate.
    2. Sweetened Condensed Milk - Thick, sweet, and the perfect ingredient to help give this pie the over the top indulgent and creamy flavor. Do not mix this up with evaporated milk as a substitute or the pie won't thicken and set. They are two very different canned ingredients and will not swap. 
    3. Lemon Juice - Freshly squeezed lemon juice is going to give you that tangy citrus punch. It's what makes this pie taste like lemonade!
    4. Powdered Sugar - If your powdered sugar has lumps, be sure to sift it first to help ensure that your pie has a thick and ultra-creamy texture.
    5. Heavy Cream - Be sure to grab heavy whipping cream from the dairy section in the grocery store. This will help to thicken the pie.
    6. Pie Crust - You will want to use a classic pie crust for this. Make sure to poke holes all over to help it create that perfect texture for your creamy pie filling.

    Instructions

    Begin the recipe by preparing the pie crust. Use a frozen classic pie crust, allow it to thaw to room temperature, prick a few holes to prevent bubbling, and bake it according to the package instructions until it is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow the pie crust to cool completely before using.

    In a medium mixing bowl, using a stand or hand mixer, add the frozen lemonade, sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Mix until fully combined. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and continue mixing until combined, careful not to over mix.

    Cover and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight if possible. This can be made the day before serving. Once the pie has thickened and set, remove it from the refrigerator, and slice to serve. Enjoy!

    Recipe Tips

    • Poking holes in the pie crust will help it not puff up as it bakes, but also creates indentions in the crust so that it soaks in more of the flavor of the lemonade pie filling.
    • If you don't want to use a classic pie crust you can even do a graham cracker crust. Just bake the graham cracker crust for 4 to 5 minutes and allow it to cool before using.
    • Consider dicing up some blueberries, strawberries, or any other fruit and stir in the pie filling to add a fruity twist.
    • Make sure to allow your pie time to set up before slicing. Otherwise, it will not thicken and hold together.
    • If you want to upgrade the flavor even more consider using Meyer lemons, or even add in some lemon zest for an extra lemon punch.

    Storage

    When using these ingredients for this recipe, you need to make sure that you keep your pie refrigerated. Cover it tightly with foil or place it in a sealed container. You want to make sure that your pie is covered well, or it will take on the flavors of the odors in the fridge. 

    You can freeze the pie if you don't want to eat it right away. Just cover it very tightly, and freeze for 1 to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge then slice and serve.

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 9-inch frozen classic pie crust
    • 6 ounces frozen lemonade concentrate
    • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
    • ¼ cup lemon juice
    • ¼ cup powdered sugar
    • 8 ounces heavy cream

    Instructions
     

    • Begin the recipe by preparing the pie crust. Use two frozen 9-inch classic pie crust, allow the pie crusts to thaw to room temperature (about 10 minutes), prick a few holes to prevent bubbling, and bake it according to the package instructions until it is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Allow the pie crusts to cool completely before using.
    • In a medium mixing bowl, using a stand or hand mixer, add the 6 ounces frozen lemonade, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, ¼ cup lemon juice, and ¼ cup powdered sugar. Mix until fully combined.
    • Slowly pour in the 8 ounces of heavy cream and continue mixing until combined, careful not to over mix.
    • Divide the pie filling in half and pour into the completely cooled pie crusts. Cover and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight if possible. This can be made the day before serving. Once the pie has thickened and set, remove it from the refrigerator, and slice to serve. Enjoy!
    • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator or the freezer for up to 1 month.

    Notes

    • Poking holes in the pie crust will help it not puff up as it bakes, but also creates indentions in the crust so that it soaks in more of the flavor of the lemonade pie filling.
    • If you don't want to use a classic pie crust you can even do a graham cracker crust. Just bake the graham cracker crust for 4 to 5 minutes and allow it to cool before using.
    • Consider dicing up some blueberries, strawberries, or any other fruit and stir in the pie filling to add a fruity twist.
    • Make sure to allow your pie time to set up before slicing. Otherwise, it will not thicken and hold together. The pie will have a soft set (similar to custard) but should still be able to slice with no problem. 
    • If you want to upgrade the flavor even more consider using Meyer lemons, or even add in some lemon zest for an extra lemon punch.

      Yum! This was so easy to make. I used a Graham Cracker Pie Crust because I had it in the pantry, and it tasted great together too!
