Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker pie crust
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened

- 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping (plus more for garnish)
- Lemon slices or zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk, thawed lemonade concentrate, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until fully incorporated, maintaining a light and airy texture.
