Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Rubber Spatula
  • 9-inch pie pan (if making homemade crust)
  • plastic wrap or aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
  • 0.75 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2-3 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
  • 1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and creamy (1–2 minutes).
  • Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until fully incorporated and silky smooth. Scrape down sides as needed.
  • Beat in thawed lemonade concentrate until completely combined.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping using a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Add food coloring if desired and fold until evenly distributed.
  • Pour filling into prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Create decorative swirls if desired.
  • Cover loosely and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  • Let sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish as desired and serve.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Chill at least 4 hours, but overnight chilling provides the best texture and cleanest slices. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
