A refreshing no-bake pie combining tangy lemonade concentrate with a creamy filling, topped with homemade whipped cream and fresh lemon zest. Perfect for warm weather and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 (14 oz / 396g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold (for filling)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until evenly coated and press firmly into bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemonade concentrate, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks using a mixer. Gently fold whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture, keeping it airy.
  4. Pour filling into cooled crust and smooth the top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Just before serving, whip remaining 1 cup heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Dollop or pipe whipped cream over pie and sprinkle with fresh lemon zest.
  6. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Notes

If filling is too loose, add a tablespoon of cream cheese for extra body. Chill pie overnight for best flavor and texture. Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid drooping or grainy texture. Fold whipped cream gently to keep filling airy. Zest lemon just before serving to preserve aroma.
