This is really tasty and super easy to make! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe! Will surely have this again! Highly recommended!
My family came into town a couple of weeks ago and I made this. It was a huge hit! Thanks for the recipe!!
I have been making this wondeful pie for years (or variations of it). Everyone should try it. Thanks for showing it to us again.
Just curious if you can use other frozen drinks to make this…like frozen juice concentrate (maybe orange???)?
I would definitely give it a try! 🙂
Ruthie, I think it would taste great. In fact, I have p;lans to try an orange version real soon. If it is really, really good, I’ll tell you all about it. 🙂
I’m making it Friday night to eat Saturday…How about I let you know? Grin! I’m thinking there shouldn’t be any changes to make other than the food coloring. Unless I want to make it oranger LOL.
That will be great. Come back and let me know!
I made it last night and had some for breakfast. Here’s how I made mine:
2 9oz Graham Cracker Crusts
1 12-oz can Old Orchard Pineapple-Orange juice
2 14-oz cans Sweetened, Condensed Milk
24oz total Whipped Topping
2 8oz cans crushed pineapple in juice (drained well)
Red and Yellow Food coloring
I made it the same way the instructions say, but added the crushed pineapple and used the entire thing of juice…so I just doubled everything else. Then I split it between the two pie shells…it still nearly overfilled them. But talk about delicious!
This will be a go-to recipe from now on. I plan on trying a number of different things, possibly using some frozen fruit.
Here is a that I posted on Facebook.
Umm oops. My HTML didn’t work. Here’s a pic I posted on Facebook.
A must try recipe! Thank you for linking up to Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays. I have pinned your post to our Tasty Tuesdays Pinterest Board.
Thanks so much! 🙂
So glad you like it!
This.recipe was in a cookbook for children published more than 40 years ago. I have bee, making it for that same time period and occasionally I trade the lemonade for drozen orange juice and use red and yellow food coloring. A great recipe
I was thinking that a touch of “orange” food coloring would be needed. It is on my “to do” list to make an orange version real soon. What shall I call it? I am thnking “Orange Creamsicle No-Bake Pie”
Thanks for mentioning that. That’s what I’m planning on doing Friday night 🙂
This recipe was in a children’s cookbook published more than.40 years ago and I have been making it for moree than 40 years it is quick easy and a good starting point for a young cook. No burnt or cut fingers with this one.
I started to make it about that time myself! LOL
My mother-in-law made these for years and they are delicious! I have also used the regular frozen lemonade and also the key-lime concentrate.
Oooh, key-lime. Now that is a great idea!
This looks SO good and one I need to try! Thank you so much for sharing this simple, but amazing recipe with us. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
It is such an easy, delicious pie!
I have made this pie so many times. It is super easy to make and makes a huge statement. Simply DELICIOUS!
Thank you for sharing,
Diane Roark
You know, Diane, this would be fun to make with kids. Just have to do it when there is plenty of time to let it freeze before serving. Maybe sometime when we have a whole day with nothing to do?
Do you know if this pie will be firm if you just chill it in the fridge instead of freezing it?
Thanks!
I haven’t tried that so I’m not sure :/
Is this really sweet or sweet/tart?
I would say “sweet/tart”
YUM! Thank you for linking up at the Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays! I have pinned your post to our Tasty Tuesdays Pinterest Board! I hope to see you again this week! xo
I make a version of this pie but the difference is instead of using grams for crust use crushed Ritz crackers a little sugar and melted butter!! It is the perfect match with the buttery Ritz with a touch of salt is so good with this pie! I also crush a few extra crackers and sprinkle on top!!
Yum! Great idea!
This sounds delicious, perfect for summer! Thanks for sharing at What’d You Do This Weekend? I hope you will join us again this Monday!
It is. Just be sure to serve it someplace where you can get it back in the freezer or put it on ice. It will disintergrate quickly if left sitting out at a picnic.
Love this recipe- will have to try. Thanks for linking up #bloggersbrags
You will be glad!
Finally the lemonade pie my mom and I have made for years and LOVE! So great to see you sharing it! It’s also good with limeade!
I thought it might be good with limeade. We are going to have to try it! ♥
Yum! This looks so light and refreshing! I’m a huge fan of rich pies and chocolate desserts, but sometimes I want something fluffy and fun. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Christina… my husband loved this pie so much, I made him one for a Father’s Day gift! LOL It’s half gone already. 🙂
