If you’re looking for the ultimate light and bright summer pie recipe, look no further than lemonade pie! This lemonade pie recipe is so easy to put together, plus lemon is one of my favorite flavors to enjoy during the summer months.

• Easy to make
• A 4 ingredient dessert recipe
• Delicious and lemony! 

I love a recipe that only requires a few ingredients.  It’s why I started my 5 Ingredient series and have a cookbook based on 5 ingredient recipes!  Seeing a short ingredient list always makes the recipe less daunting off the bat.

For this recipe, you only need four things:

To make lemonade pie, you just need to combine the egg yolks with sweetened condensed milk.   Then add in lemon  juice and pour into the pie filling!  Bake the pie, then chill and viola, you have a delicious dessert in no time!

This recipe was an idea based off of a reader comment that I received.  The reader makes it a little differently (although I am sure still delicious!)

On Facebook, every Friday, we ask a question of the week.  I absolutely love reading through people’s responses.  Last year we asked simple “what is your favorite dessert?”  One reader left a comment that had me thinking about lemonade pie for over a year (I kid you not).  So this is my year to finally make it and I’m so glad I did!

The reader was so kind as to send me their recipe for Easy Lemonade Pie, which I’ve included below:

• Mix 1 ¾ cup milk with 2 sugar free lemon instant puddings (the 4 serving size).
• Add 6oz of frozen lemonade concentrate that’s thawed to this and mix.
• Stir in 8oz of cool whip. 
• Spread into crust and refrigerate for 4 hours to set. 

Well that pie sounded so yummy, I knew I needed to try a lemonade pie of my own!  So, a big thank you to that reader for being my inspiration.

 

This pie was so so good, refreshing and summery; it’s the perfect recipe for 4th of July or to enjoy on summer nights with frinds.  And in case you’re looking for a little more inspiration for the 4th, I have a few more favorite recipes here.

 

And if you love lemon as much as I do, try this lemon loaf (Starbucks copycat!) or these awesome baked lemon glazed donuts.  

 

After trying this recipe, the feedback from family was “this is better than key lime pie!” So, if you’re looking for what to make for a summer dessert, definitely try this lemonade pie recipe.
