Description

This light and refreshing pie is perfect for hot summer days, poolside treats, and fun gatherings. It starts with a buttery store bought graham cracker pie crust that is topped with a light, lemony topping that tastes like a cool glass of lemonade.

Ingredients

• 8 oz. brick full-fat cream cheese, softened
• 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 c. frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

• 3.4 oz. box lemon flavored instant pudding and pie filling
• 8 oz. frozen Cool Whip, thawed
• 9 oz. store bought graham cracker pie crust
• fresh lemon slices, fresh berries and whipped cream, for optional garnish

2. Lower the mixer speed to low; mix in the instant lemon pudding mix; increase the speed to medium; mix for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and starting to thicken.
