A creamy, frosty ice cream pie made with pink lemonade in a graham cracker crust.. This 3 Ingredient Lemonade Pie has been a family favorite at our house for over fifty years!
All you need is 3 ingredients and 5 minutes and you will have a quick, easy and delicious dessert.
This recipe is one my mom has made for over 40 years and it is the perfect summer time dessert.
Ingredients Needed.
- Graham cracker crust. You can use a store bought one or you can make your own using this recipe.
- Half gallon vanilla ice cream. Use your favorite brand but mine is Breyer’s Natural Vanilla.
- Pink lemonade concentrate. This can be a little hard to find. You can also use regular lemonade or limeade. I have also used raspberry or strawberry lemonade. You want the frozen kind, in the can.
How to Make Lemonade Pie
- Add frozen lemonade concentrate, do not add water into a bowl of ice cream.
- Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to mix until combined. If I am using a stand mixer I will use my paddle attachment.
- Mix until nice and smooth. Don’t overmix or the ice cream will begin to melt.
- Pour ice cream mixture into graham cracker crust. If you have made your own, you will need to bake it and let it cool before adding in ice cream.
- Smooth the top of the ice cream.
- Put pie into the ice cream for 4-6 hours to allow it to firm up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I add water to the lemonade before adding it to the ice cream?
No! You use the lemonade right out of the freezer, frozen.
Can I use other flavors of lemonade?
I have used regular lemonade, limeade, raspberry lemonade and strawberry lemonade.
Lemonade Pie 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.

I both love and am afraid that this only has 3 ingredients. So easy…dangerously easy!

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.
Leigh Anne says
Kristi – it is so good and so easy. Hope you’ll try it.
E. Ladieu says
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.
Leigh Anne says
Sorry about that – it is the 12 oz. size
Summer-Lea says
Good Evening, what would be good to use if I do not have a mixer with a paddle?
Thank you, Summer-Lea R.
Leigh Anne says
Just let the ice cream soften a bit more and use a wooden spoon to mix it until smooth
