My frozen strawberry lemonade pie is ridiculously easy to make and even easier to eat! Made with Cool Whip, frozen lemonade concentrate, sweetened condensed milk, and real strawberries, it has a fresh fruity flavor and a silky-soft texture. It’s one of my favorite refreshing treats to serve on hot summer days– perfect for snacking on by the pool!
In my book, ice cream season is all year long, but this frozen strawberry lemonade pie is particularly tasty in the summertime. It’s super easy to throw together in just a few minutes with only 6 ingredients, and it tastes so dang good! This freezer pie is a delicious no-bake dessert and a great go-to treat with minimal fuss. No cooking. Just mix the ingredients, pour them into the pie crust, and slide it into the freezer – done!
What’s in This Lemonade Pie Recipe?
- Strawberries: Add delicious strawberry flavor to the pie and help create that beautiful pinkish-red swirl. I used fresh strawberries because they were in season, but frozen also work well.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens the strawberries and brings out their natural flavor.
- Frozen Whipped Topping : Makes the filling light and fluffy.
- Frozen Lemonade Concentrate: Adds classic lemonade flavor.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Helps make the filling rich, creamy, and soft.
- Graham Cracker Crust : Balances out the tangy and fruity filling! Any kind of crust that is ready-to-eat and doesn’t need to be baked in the oven will work just fine here.
Tips for Success
- I recommend gently swirling the strawberries into just the top layer of the pie. If mixed fully into the filling, the pie can be more difficult to cut.
- The only drawback to this lemonade pie is how quickly it seemed to melt, which isn’t that big of a drawback– it just means you have to eat it faster!
- Save time and stay ahead of the game by making a few pies at once. They’re perfect for party prep or just to have a ready treat waiting in the freezer.
- Return any leftover pie to the freezer. It thaws quickly!
- Top with slices of lemon and strawberries for a pretty garnish.
How to Store
This lemonade pie benefits greatly from an overnight freeze to keep it nice and firm. I recommend at least 8 hours to be safe. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 4 months; just let it thaw for a few minutes at room temperature before serving for easier slicing.
Serving Suggestions
Strawberry lemonade pie is one of my favorite BBQ desserts to serve in the summertime. It tastes great after a hearty meal of St. Louis ribs or juicy grilled burgers . It’s a great recipe for 4th of July !

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
