A quick and easy no-bake frozen lemonade pie with a vibrant blueberry swirl, perfect for summer celebrations and refreshing on hot days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Β½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets, finely crushed)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 45 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • Β½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Make the blueberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. Prepare the lemonade filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour half of the lemonade filling over the chilled crust, smoothing it out evenly. Spoon dollops of blueberry swirl over the filling, then gently swirl with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect. Pour the remaining filling over the top and repeat the swirling process.
  5. Freeze: Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, let the pie sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly.

Notes

Keep heavy cream and bowl cold before whipping for best results. Press crust firmly and chill well to avoid sogginess. Use a thin skewer or butter knife to swirl blueberry sauce slowly to maintain marbled effect. Cover pie well in freezer to prevent ice crystals. For gluten-free, use gluten-free graham crackers or cookies. For dairy-free, substitute coconut cream and vegan sweetened condensed milk.
