This No-Bake Lemon Pie is a light and zesty dessert that requires minimal effort and ingredients. With a creamy lemon filling nestled in a graham cracker crust, it’s an ideal treat for warm days or when you’re short on time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker crust
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (approximately 23 lemons)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for added flavor)
  • 1 (8 oz) container of Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and fresh lemon juice. Mix until well combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
    • Stir in the lemon zest if using, to enhance the citrus flavor.
  • Fold in Whipped Topping:
    • Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip or whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  • Assemble the Pie:
    • Pour the lemon filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Chill:
    • Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
  • Serve:
    • Once set, slice and serve chilled. Garnish with additional whipped topping or lemon slices if desired.

Notes

  • For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding up to 3/4 cup of lemon juice, adjusting to taste.
  • Ensure the whipped topping is fully thawed before incorporating for a smoother filling.
  • This pie can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
