These No Bake Pink Lemonade Squares is my all time favorite easy lemon dessert recipe.
On a hot summer day there is nothing like a refreshingly tart lemon flavored dessert to cool you down. Β And, the best part is, you don’t have to heat up your kitchen to make it.
I absolutely adore no bake desserts and this easy lemon dessert recipe is absolutely perfect.
It’s a fun twist on my favorite Strawberry Chiffon Pie.
I love the homemade graham cracker crust — it really adds a great texture to this recipe. Β Just press it into a 8 inch square baking dish and refrigerate it until set. Β It doesn’t get much easier.
I’ve found that the easiest way to make the graham cracker crumbs is to use my mini food chopper. Β I love this gadget and use it for so many things in the kitchen. Β It’s so much easier than pulling out my big food processor.
And, let’s not forget the lemon flavor…swoon! Β I *big puffy heart* anything lemon. Β The best way to get fresh lemon juice is to use this gadget. Β You get only the juice — no seeds! Β It’s so inexpensive and worth every single penny.
I’ll bet you this dessert would even be great frozen…I’ll have to try that next time!
