Frequently Asked Questions
What type of pie crust works best?
A graham cracker crust is traditional and complements the lemonade flavor well, but you can also use a pre-made Oreo or shortbread crust for a different taste. If you prefer a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or a nut-based crust.
