French Dessert / Lemonade Pie
This is one of my favorite desserts. It’s rich and creamy like cheesecake, but even quicker to make, especially if you use ready-made crust and frozen whipped topping!

Equipment
- 9×13 pan
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 sleeves buttery round crackers; about 64 crackers (such as Nabisco Ritz brand)
- ½ cup margarine or butter, melted
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Filling
- 2 envelopes Dream Whip brand whipped topping mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 6 fl oz (½ can) frozen lemonade concentrate, still frozen see note, below
Directions
Crust
- Using a food processer, blender, or plastic bag, crush the crackers into fine bits.
- In a bowl, mix together the crushed crackers, powdered sugar, and melted butter.
- Press cracker crust into the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
Filling
- Mix the whipped topping mix, milk, and vanilla on low until blended. Then beat on high speed for 4 minutes or until soft peaks form.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and lemonade concentrate. Mix on medium speed until well blended.
- Pour into crust. Cover and freeze two hours or overnight.
- Serve frozen. Store leftovers in freezer.
Notes
Most cans of frozen lemonade concentrate are 12 oz, so you’ll need to use only half that.
Try using vanilla wafers, gingersnaps, or Oreos instead of Ritz crackers for the crust.
Pink frozen lemonade and/or food coloring can add a festive color to the pies!
