Lemonade pie is a creamy, frosty ice cream pie made with pink lemonade in a graham cracker crust. This 3 Ingredient dessert 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 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 over mix.
- Pour ice cream mixture into graham cracker crust.
- Smooth the top of the ice cream.
- Put pie into the ice cream for 4-6 hours to allow it to firm up.
Tips from leigh Anne
- If you are using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachement.
- Don’t over mix. You don’t want the ice cream to melt. This will change the texture when it is refrozen.
- If you bake your own graham cracker crust, make sure it has cooled completely before assembling the pie.
Frequently Asked Questions

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 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.
