Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 1 (14 oz / 400g) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8 oz / 225g) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) lemonade
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled

Instructions

  1. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs (about 1 ½ cups).
  2. Mix crumbs with melted butter and granulated sugar until evenly combined and resembles wet sand.
  3. Press crumb mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering bottom and sides about 1 inch high.
  4. Chill crust in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  6. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and beat until combined.
  7. Slowly pour in lemonade while mixing on low speed.
  8. Add lemon zest and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
  9. Whip heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until soft peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  10. Gently fold whipped cream into lemonade mixture until no streaks remain.
  11. Pour filling over chilled crust and spread evenly.
  12. Refrigerate pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
  13. Before serving, garnish with extra lemon zest, lemon slices, or whipped cream if desired.
  14. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks for airy texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill pie for at least 3 hours or overnight for best texture. Warm knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts. For gluten-free crust, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free cookies or almond flour. For dairy-free, use coconut cream and vegan cream cheese alternatives.
