This should really be called Easy Lemonade Pie (s) Recipe because this recipe makes two, delicious, no-bake Lemonade Pies. Why would you want 2 pies? Because they don’t last long!
I made these pies for our 4th of July family cookout. I only brought one pie to the cookout and I left one at home so Ron and I could enjoy it later. I’m glad I left one home because there weren’t any leftovers!
I was trying to decide on a quintessential summertime dessert to bring to the cookout and what screams summer more than lemonade? I had planned to make this pie with a store bought graham cracker crust but neither our Walmart Neighborhood Market nor Publix had any in stock. This wasn’t a big problem because it is so easy to make graham cracker crusts. So, feel free to use a store bought crust if you prefer.

This recipe is so easy to make, the kids can even help! You can also use pink lemonade concentrate if you like. My family decided this pie had just the right amount of lemon tartness, not too much and not to little, it was just right.
