Ingredients for Frozen Lemonade Pie
- 1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
- 1 prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust
- Lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh lemon slices (optional)
How to Make Frozen Lemonade Pie
Step 1: Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the thawed lemonade concentrate and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
Step 2: Fold in the Whipped Topping
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the lemonade mixture until completely combined and fluffy.
Step 3: Fill the Crust
Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 4: Freeze
Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Step 5: Serve
Remove the pie from the freezer about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lemon zest or fresh lemon slices if desired.
Tips for the Best Frozen Lemonade Pie
- Store leftovers tightly covered to prevent freezer burn.
- Allow the lemonade concentrate to thaw before mixing.
- Don't overmix after adding the whipped topping or the filling may lose its light texture.
- Freeze overnight for the cleanest slices.
- Dip your knife in hot water between cuts for picture-perfect servings.
Storage
Store Frozen Lemonade Pie tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to 2 months.
For best texture, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Can You Make It Ahead?
Absolutely! In fact, this pie is even better when made a day in advance. It's the perfect dessert to prepare before entertaining since there's nothing left to do except slice and serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade whipped cream?
Yes! Substitute about 3 cups of freshly whipped cream for the whipped topping. Keep in mind the pie may soften a little faster than when using stabilized whipped topping.
Can I use fresh lemon juice instead?
Frozen lemonade concentrate gives this pie its signature sweet-tart flavor and helps it freeze properly. Fresh lemon juice won't produce the same results.
Does Frozen Lemonade Pie have to stay frozen?
Yes. This dessert is meant to be served frozen or slightly softened. If left out too long, it will become very soft.
Can I make mini pies?
Definitely! Divide the filling among mini graham cracker crusts or individual dessert cups for easy serving at parties.

- Fresh berries

Is the lemon concentrate frozen lemonade? I've never heard of concentrate in a can that wasn't frozen. Please reply.
Yes -- frozen lemonade concentrate
UM first of all I love lemon everything pretty much so there's that. Second of all Lemon pie is my favourite kind of pie in any form. This seems like a winner for me and might actually trick teen daughter into making this with me next week. Great idea. Thanks!
Frozen lemonade pie? What sorcery is this?! I have to have this in my life immediately. It looks SO GOOD!
That looks so refreshing! I'm not much of a baker so pies aren't usually in my dessert rotation. But even I can do this!
You had me at Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk. I've made lemonade pie before but never added Eagle brand. You just upped my game at the Labor Day family BBQ. I can't wait to try this and master it before sharing with our loved ones.
This looks as though it would make a delicious dessert! Yummy. Frozen Lemonade totally reminds me of summer so it would make a wonderful summer treat!
I absolutely love anything with lemon in it and this looks fantastic! My mouth is drooling! YUM!

That looks amazing and I'd love to give this recipe a try! I love that it's frozen instead of baked, that's totally refreshing! I'm pretty sure the kids will love this one too!
Frozen lemonade pie sounds delicious! Perfect summer dessert for this 100 degree weather we're experiencing over here.
This sounds perfect for the summer - and definitely new to me! I'm always fascinated by no-bake desserts (because they're delicious, and because... well, that summer heat you mentioned), but I generally see the same types of recipe over and over again. As a lemon meringue pie fan, I'm certainly very curious about the idea of a lemonade pie!
The pie looks delicious and I know it is tart. your crust looks super crisp. I use Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk all the time. It is so good in so many recipes.
I'm not too far away from Kentucky, just about 2 hours from Lexington! And I agree, this summer has been HOT! (Actually this last week was pretty nice, but overall, hot!) I love cool desserts like this for hot days- Yummm
Wow this is super simple! We love eating no bake desserts in the summer, there is absolutely no way I can turn on the oven on a super hot CA day!!
This sounds like such a refreshing dessert! When the weather's hot, it's so great to make dessert recipes that don't require the oven. The texture of this looks so creamy and exactly what you'd look for to finish a summer meal. Will save to make before fall arrives!
This looks amazing!
