Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 6-ounce (170 grams) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 2 4-serving size boxes Vanilla Instant Pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups milk
Dairy/Creamy Ingredients:
- 1 8-ounce (226 grams) Cool Whip
Crust Ingredient:
- 1 Graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Whisk together milk and pudding mix in a spacious mixing bowl until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Pour in the thawed lemonade concentrate and continue whisking vigorously until the mixture develops a creamy, thickened consistency.
- Gently fold the Cool Whip into the lemonade pudding blend, ensuring a uniform texture without deflating the whipped topping.
- Transfer the silky filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a level surface.
- Securely cover the pie with plastic wrap or a fitted lid to prevent moisture absorption.
- Refrigerate the pie for a minimum of 4 hours, though allowing it to rest overnight will enhance the flavor and texture.
- Prior to serving, decorate the pie’s surface with delicate, thinly sliced fresh lemon rounds for a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
- Slice and serve the chilled pie, savoring the refreshing blend of tangy lemonade and creamy pudding.
Notes
- Chill the pudding mix and milk before whisking to help the mixture thicken faster and create a smoother consistency.
- Use freshly squeezed lemonade concentrate for a more vibrant, authentic citrus flavor that elevates the pie’s taste profile.
- For a gluten-free version, swap the graham cracker crust with a nut-based or gluten-free cookie crust to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- To enhance presentation, zest a lemon over the pie before serving to add a bright, aromatic touch and create a more visually appealing dessert.
