This 3 Ingredient Lemonade Pie has been a family favorite at our house for over fifty years! It’s so easy and delicious!!
3 ingredients and 5 minutes. That is all it takes to put this quick, easy and delicious dessert together! The best though about this dessert though? It tastes delicious!
I’ve been making this recipe for over 30 years and I’m pretty sure it came from my mother and she has been making it longer than me!
I am pretty sure that Pink Lemonade Pie is the perfect summer time dessert! Everyone needs a go to, easy summer dessert and this is mine. It is easy to keep these 3 ingredients on hand so you are always ready to whip up a yummy summer treat.
Three ingredients – a graham cracker crust, 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream and a can of pink lemonade concentrate. Of course you could totally make this with regular lemonade or even limeade and it would be just as delicious. I am just a fan of pink lemonade.
The process is easy too. I just put the ice cream and the pink lemonade concentrate (do not add water to the lemonade) right into my Kitchen Aid.
Then with my paddle attachment I mix the two until they are smooth and combined – just a minute or so. Then pour it into the graham cracker crust. I decided to make my own graham cracker crust becauseI think it tastes better than a store bought one but it is a little bit more work and then I couldn’t call the recipe “3 ingredient.” A store bought one will work just fine!
Then pop it in the freezer and let it firm up. Then it is ready to eat!
It is such a yummy treat on a warm summer day or really any day. The sweetness of the ice cream combined with the lemonade is so refreshing.
Do you have a go to summer time treat? If not, give this one a try!

Thanks Vanessa. It’s one of our favorites.
Looks so easy and so delicious! What a great way to cool off during the summer days! Thanks for sharing…great idea!
Jodee – it is so refreshing during the summer! The perfect way to cool off on a hot summer night.
I know I have made a variation of this is the past – I need to go back and compare recipes. It is just as simple, easy, and tasty as it sounds.
One more ingredient is a must though (pictured) – whipped cream topping!
Oops – you’re right Lucy! I should have called it 4 ingredient I guess.
Love your ideas!
Thanks so much Kathy!!

This looks so good, especially since it’s so hot today. Thanks for sharing.
It’s perfect for a hot day – thanks!
My mom used to make these when I was a kid. I forgot all about it. This was one of our favorite things my mom made. I am going to have to make it for my brothers. Thanks for the flash back!
It’s a good one isn’t it – my mom made it all the time too!
Good Evening, what would be good to use if I do not have a mixer with a paddle?
Thank you, Summer-Lea R.
Just let the ice cream soften a bit more and use a wooden spoon to mix it until smooth
One thing that you forgot to do is tell us how many ounces the can holds. There are usually
two sizes of frozen juice drinks? Which one do you use? Thanks, E.
Sorry about that – it is the 12 oz. size
I saw this on Google+ and had to check it out. Cooking is my thing, not baking or dessert making. This is right up my alley.
Kristi – it is so good and so easy. Hope you’ll try it.
This sounds so cool and refreshing right now! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I both love and am afraid that this only has 3 ingredients. So easy…dangerously easy!
Thanks for sharing with See Ya in the Gumbo this week!
Yay for quick summertime desserts! I can’t wait to try this out 🙂
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
I can’t believe that something that pretty is also that easy!
Thanks for linking up to the Tip Me Tuesday linky party! {knuckle bumps} Did you know that I can “lend” your blog posts my Google page rank for better search engine traffic? {fabulous} If you upload at least 2 images, 2 steps, and blog post URL into your Tip Junkie craft room, you’ll be in business! {wink} ~ Laurie {a.k.a. the Tip Junkie}
I love simple desserts! Thanks for sharing this at the Good Food Friday link party 😀
Do you let the ice cream and lemonade defrost before you mix?
No, I just let it get soft enough to work with. If you are mixing it up in a mixer/kitchenaid it doesn’t have to be too soft.
suppppper yummmmm!!! I make a simaliar Lemonade Pie with a 6oz can of lemonade (or Pink lemonade [or orange juice – or any frozen juice concentrate]), 8oz container thawed whipped frozen topping and a store bought graham crust. Gently fold together very cold, thawed juice and whipped topping. mound into crust and cover with plastic lid from crust. Freeze. travels great. eat frozen or thaw first I just found you today…I’ve printed 8 or 9 lemonicous receipes so far!!! Can’t wait to make them all! just cant decide which one first!!!
So glad you found me! Your version of Lemonade Pie sounds delicious!
How long would you say that it needs to be left in the freezer? Wanting to know since I plan on making it for an event!
I would freeze it overnight.
Love easy recipes..This is the easiest..Can’t wait to make it!
Thank you!
I have made this summer dessert for many years. I let the ice cream and lemonade soften for a few minutes and fold it together in a big bowl. My recipe called for making it in a 9×12 pan so I made a graham cracker crust for a 9×12 pan and pour the filling in there. This will serve my large family. It makes about 12 medium slices and is so delicious.
