Frozen Lemonade Pie is a yummy no-bake dessert that takes just 10 minutes to prep. Frozen lemonade combined with creamy pudding and whipped cream on a graham cracker crust. We have a pink lemonade pie version as well!
Frozen Lemonade Pie
A handful of simple ingredients and 10 minutes is all you need to get this lemonade icebox pie ready. I love making easy desserts with very little effort. The hardest part of this will be waiting to eat it since we do have to let it set in the freezer (or fridge) over night. Some like a smoother pie and others like this frozen. We share below examples of both depending on what you prefer.
This is one of my favorite No-Bake Desserts. We love making sweet treats that are cold and refreshing in the hot Summer months. This makes enough for two pies so you will have plenty for everyone at the Summer BBQ or you’ll have an extra to give to a friend.
Ingredients For Lemonade Pie:
- Lemonade: you will need frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed).
- Puddings: Instant Vanilla Pudding and Instant Lemon Pudding.
- Milk – use whole milk or 2%.
- Whipped Cream: make your own homemade whipped cream or use Cool Whip (slightly thawed).
- Vanilla Extract
- Graham Cracker Crust – use a store-bought premade crust or make your own (see below in tips & variations).
- Optional: fresh fruit for garnish (we’ve used lemons, strawberries and raspberries).
How To Make Frozen Lemonade Pie
- Mix together both of the pudding mixes with milk using a whisk until it thickens. Add the vanilla and mix again.
- Pour 8 oz of your lemonade into the pudding mixture and stir.
- Add the Cool Whip in sections, folding it in before adding more.
- Pour the pie filling into each of the graham cracker crusts.
- Refrigerate overnight and once firm, garnish, slice and serve!
Differences Between Refrigerated and Frozen
I make this lemonade pie often and my family is split on how they prefer this. That’s why we make two pies. I prefer a more creamy pie so I like to store one in the fridge. My boys prefer a frozen pie so I store the other one in the freezer. The image below shows the results. You can’t go wrong either way.
Storing
Lemonade pie should be covered with a lid (or plastic wrap) and kept in the fridge for up to a week. Frozen: It will keep in the freezer for up to two weeks as long as it’s covered. Just make sure you remove the pie from the freezer and let it thaw for about 15 minutes cutting it.
How To Make Pink Lemonade Pie
Using pink lemonade is another version of lemonade pie that is always a huge hit. We make this pink lemonade pie a bit different by including strawberry ice cream. Either version is delicious!
You only need 3-ingredients: strawberry ice cream, pink lemonade concentrate and whipped cream. You will want to make sure to freeze this pie and do not store it in the fridge.
Tips and Variations
- Fridge/Freezer Time : Do not rush this. The pie needs at least 8-12 hours of fridge time, or in the freezer overnight, before serving it. This will ensure the pie to thicken and set.
- Decorating: feel free to leave the pie as is or top with extra whipped cream, lemon zest, slices slices or other fruit.
- Graham Cracker Crust: I switch off with using store-bought or making my own depending on how much time I have.
How to make a homemade graham cracker pie crust:
- 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup butter, melted
Directions: Combine the ingredients into a medium bowl. Press half the graham cracker crust into the pie dish and the rest on the sides. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and allow to cool completely. Variation: feel free to use red food coloring to brighten up the pink color of the pie or another option is to use strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla.

Love this pie frozen!! Easy to make and it keeps well! Just the right amount of lemon.
Really easy to make and extremely delicious! I placed in the freezer overnight.
How much of the frozen lemonade did you use if can’t use all don’t want it to thin ???????
Hi Linda. We used 8 ounces of lemonade.
Have you tried this with sugar-free ingredients like SF jello or pudding?
This is a delicious recipe. It is easy to make and was hit!!!
Does this use the small packets of pudding mix or the family size?
Shannon, these are the small packets.
Can you put this deserts in freezer.
Yes, you can freeze this as well.
Hello! Lovely recipe! Your advice, please. I’d like to make it in a 9×13 dish for a upcoming potluck. Should I double the recipe? I’ll make my own graham crust.
Thanks so much!
Are they 3.4 oz or 5.1 oz boxes of pudding?
The 3.4 oz boxes.
can this be made with frozen orange juice
I’ve never tried it, but let me know how it turns out.
Oh! That sounds like a good idea! Like a 50/50 bar!
I’ve tried the lemon and its great. Now I’ll need to try the orange.
I do wish the concentrate came in smaller containers so i could find a way to halve the recipe without being TOO wasteful. Two pies is a lot for our household. So i always have to plan to give one away. But thats the only “bad” thing about this recipe, luckily its tasty enough that people are happy to receive it.
