Delightful Strawberry Lemonade Pie
A cold, creamy, and refreshing Delightful Strawberry Lemonade Pie that captures the vibrant flavors of summer, combining sweet strawberries with zesty lemon in a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Cool Whip or whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for strawberries)
- Extra strawberries, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until evenly mixed.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake it in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it's golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- In another bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir to combine well.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip or whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Once the crust has cooled, pour the filling into the crust and spread it evenly.
- Top the filling with the sliced strawberries and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, garnish with extra strawberries on top and a dollop of whipped cream. Cut into slices, and enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. The pie can be prepared ahead of time and chilled for optimal taste.
