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!

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.
