Pink Lemonade Pie . . . this creamy, tart filling can be served in a graham cracker or pastry crust. It is so simple, but so irresistible! A perfect pie for lemonade lovers.
We are heading out today for a family reunion. We will be camping. With a baby. I am just a little bit freaked out.
Fortunately we are in cabins. Unfortunately the cabins are just bunk houses that sleep about 20. They don’t have running water in them. I’m a little bit of a germ freak. I’m also a very light sleeper. I’ll probably be taking LOTS of walks to the lodge to wash my hands.
And I’m taking ear plugs, plus a humidifier to block out all the loud noises. You know, like people breathing and rolling over and stuff. If I can manage to get a hot shower every morning and a few hours of sleep every night, I’m sure I’ll have a fabulous time!
Before I leave, I’m sharing a dessert recipe that is just perfect for summertime. I know. Summer is practically over.
I shared the recipe months ago over at Crystal’s Craft Spot, but I forgot to post it here. Hello. So before the temperatures plummet, I thought I’d better get to it. You still have time, right?
Here ya go, a perfect summer recipe. Pink Lemonade Pie. It only takes a few minutes to put together, and it is so refreshing! You can use a purchased crust to make things even easier.
I used a graham cracker crust this time, but it is also fantastic with a pastry crust. You can use whatever you like. Oh, and if all you have is regular lemonade, I’m sure it would work just fine. 🙂
Lemonade pie is so simple to make! Just beat a few ingredients together and pour them into a crust. I used to make this pie with Cool Whip, but I prefer real whipped cream.
It does make a softer set pie, but we are fine with that. You can of course use Cool Whip if you prefer.
If you make this recipe in a graham cracker crust, it is also fabulous frozen. Just let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving so it’s a little easier to cut. So scrumptious!

This recipe has my household in a grip. Lol. It’s really simple and so delicious. I used about 4oz more heavy whipping cream and I subbed the frozen pink lemonade(not available) for the country time pink lemonade powder, and it was amazing. My husband, parents, sister and even my picky niece(2 yo) and greedy nephew(3yo) couldn’t stop eating it. Take the time out to make this recipe!!! You won’t disappoint.
Glad it’s such a hit at your house, and thanks for sharing your adaptations! I’ll have to try it with the Country Time powder!
I look forward to trying this. I am going to make it for a dear, young friend who is turning 21 in a few weeks. Her favorite color is pink, and she wants pink EVERYTHING! Including food. This should fit right in.
Haha, what a coincidence. My daughter turned seven this week, and she loves pink as well, so she asked for this pie for her birthday! 🙂
I hope your time was fun. I can completely understand the loud noises, and germ issues. I always feel better when I read how other people have the same quirks as me.
