A quick and easy frozen dessert featuring a creamy, tangy lemonade filling paired with a crunchy, buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for summer gatherings and last-minute treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 ounces / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 46 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold

Instructions

  1. Make the Graham Cracker Crust (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze to chill while preparing filling.
  2. Prepare the Lemonade Filling (15 minutes): In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and glossy. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy whipping cream to soft peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into lemon mixture using a spatula.
  3. Assemble and Freeze (5 minutes + freezing time): Pour lemon filling into chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Serving: Remove from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Slice, serve, and enjoy.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks for best texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Use fresh lemon juice for brighter flavor. Freeze overnight for best results. Let pie sit 10-15 minutes before slicing for easier cuts. Can substitute coconut cream and dairy-free condensed milk for dairy-free version. Use gluten-free crumbs for gluten-free option.
