Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 (6 ounces / 170 grams) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 (8 ounces / 227 grams) Cool Whip
- 1 graham cracker crust
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups (414 milliliters) milk
- 2 boxes (4-serving size) vanilla instant pudding
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, blend pudding mix with milk, whisking vigorously until the mixture transforms into a luxurious, creamy consistency within approximately 2 minutes.
- Introduce the thawed lemonade concentrate, stirring meticulously to ensure a silky, uniform texture emerges throughout the pudding base.
- Delicately incorporate the Cool Whip, employing a gentle folding technique to maintain the mixture’s airy and light composition without deflating its volume.
- Transfer the harmonious blend into the prepared graham cracker crust, using a spatula to distribute the filling evenly and create a smooth, pristine surface.
- Securely cover the pie with plastic wrap, positioning it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- Prior to serving, optionally adorn the chilled pie with delicate lemon slice medallions or a billowing cloud of fresh whipped cream for an elegant finishing touch.
- Slice and present the pie when thoroughly chilled, revealing a refreshing, tangy dessert that promises a burst of citrusy delight with each creamy bite.
Notes
- Swap out whole milk for almond or oat milk to create a dairy-free version of this refreshing dessert.
- Ensure the lemonade concentrate is completely thawed to prevent icy texture and achieve smooth consistency.
- For extra zesty flavor, add lemon zest directly into the filling mixture before chilling.
- Use a gluten-free graham cracker crust to make this pie suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
