Cook Time: -
Total Time: 5 hrs 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 cup pink lemonade concentrate
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup lemon zest
Instructions
- Remove the pre-made graham cracker pie crust from its packaging and place it on a clean, flat surface.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pink lemonade concentrate, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly blended and create a smooth, vibrant mixture.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the lemonade mixture, stirring carefully to maintain the light and airy texture. Mix until the ingredients are completely incorporated and create a creamy, pale pink filling.
- Pour the lemonade filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure a smooth surface and consistent distribution.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap, making sure the wrap does not touch the surface of the filling.
- Place the pie in the freezer and allow it to set for approximately 5 hours or until the filling is completely firm and frozen.
- Before serving, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Cut into 8 equal slices and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest or a small mint leaf for decoration.
Tips
- Chill Out: Ensure all ingredients are cold before mixing to maintain the light, airy texture of the filling.
- Zest is Best: Use fresh lemon zest for maximum flavor intensity and a bright, citrusy aroma.
- Smooth Operator: When folding in the whipped topping, use a gentle, figure-eight motion to keep the mixture fluffy.
- Freezer Strategy: Cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn and unwanted ice crystals.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the pie sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to make slicing easier and improve the texture.
- Garnish Game: Elevate your presentation with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a small mint leaf for that professional touch.
- Make Ahead: This pie can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making it perfect for party planning!
