Lemonade Pie

When life gives you lemons, make this Lemonade Pie! Although there are no actual lemons in this recipe, there is plenty of lemon flavor in each bite of this refreshing dessert. An added bonus is that it is a completely no-bake dessert! Who wants to turn on an oven on a hot summer day, which would be the perfect day to enjoy this pie.

What Does Lemonade Pie Taste Like?

Simply put, it’s like a slightly sweeter key lime pie. Packs a punch but definitely creamy, smooth, and satisfying!

No-Bake Lemonade Pie

There are two parts to this pie–the shortbread pie crust and the lemonade filling. There is nothing better than a subtle and sweet Shortbread crust, so I opted to use my absolutely perfect Shortbread Cookie recipe. Highly recommend!

Shortbread Pie Crust

Lemonade Pie is as easy to make as it is delicious! It starts with the crust. Melted butter and crushed shortbread cookies are the only two ingredients you need! Make sure you crush the cookies as best you can before adding the butter. I used a food processor to get very fine crumbs, but you could also put them in a zipped plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies.

How to Serve Lemonade Pie

Best served on a warm day, of course! ๐Ÿ˜‹ I recommend serving it with homemade whipped cream (which you could easily make while the pie is chilling). The pie will last up to three days chilled.

How to Make Individual Servings

Simply crush up shortbread cookies and place them in the bottom of the serving cup instead of a pie pan. After testing we found that a thinner layer on the bottom was best. (Which also means you can make more servings!) Then reserve a bit of the shortbread cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top.

  1. Hi! First off, let me say I LOVE your recipes! They few I’ve done have been marvelous.
    So, my question – is this a recipe that will do well doubling? I have a work event (14 people) coming up this month and this is something that would be a hit. I can make 2 separate pies, but would prefer to use my 15×9 pyrex dish.

  2. Absolutely delicious as are all the recipes I am Baker gives us. Definitely someone I count on for a good quality recipe

  3. I wonder if I should add the whipped cream before or after the pie freezes. Can someone tell me?

    1. Donโ€™t add the whipped topping and then freeze. Anything with fat or oil does not freeze well. Add to pie once it has thawed and is ready to serve
