Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 can (5 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can (6 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed

Equipment

  • deep-dish pie plate
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer
  • plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until texture resembles wet sand. Press into a deep-dish pie plate. For a firmer crust, bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes and cool completely. For no-bake, chill the crust for 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together evaporated milk and lemon pudding mix for 2 minutes until creamy and thickened.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Gradually mix in thawed lemonade concentrate, then slowly fold in the pudding mixture. Beat until smooth and uniform.
  4. Pour filling into prepared crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  5. Garnish with whipped cream, lemon zest, lemon slices, or fresh berries before serving.

Notes

For a firmer crust, you can bake it briefly before chilling. Garnish with whipped cream, lemon zest, or fresh berries for a bright finish. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
