Ingredients
Instructions

- Freeze until firm and ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a refreshing twist, consider substituting the frozen lemonade with limeade for a different flavor profile. If you want a lighter version, you can use a low-fat version of Cool Whip or Greek yogurt instead. Make sure to blend the ingredients until smooth for a creamy texture. For an added crunch, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top before freezing.
Serving Suggestions
This frozen lemon pie is best served chilled directly from the freezer. Consider garnishing with fresh lemon slices or a sprig of mint for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with Judy'S Scalloped Corn for a summer meal or as a light dessert after a barbecue. For a more indulgent treat, serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To enjoy later, allow the pie to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before slicing to make it easier to serve. It can be stored for up to two weeks, but for best quality, consume within a week.
