What is a freezer pie?
A freezer pie, or Ice Box Pie is a delicious classic southern dessert that was named after the ice box that these pies were kept cool in. These Ice Box Pie were quick and easy to make, required no cooking in the heat of summer, and could be stored in the icebox until it was served. … Iceboxes date back to the 1830s.
A delicious lemon dessert
I have always loved lemons. Lemonade, lemon meringue, lemon bars, lemon in my tea, you get the idea. Turns out I love lemons in freezer pie form as well!! Its just such a light and refreshing flavor. A summer favorite that I’ll cling to year round.
No bake dessert
When it’s too hot to cook, use your freezer instead of your oven!
There’s never a bad time to make a pie this easy! Sometimes you want to create a dust cloud of flour in the kitchen and bake a marvelous dessert, other times you just want something sweet – tout suite!
This freezer pie, is a delicious no bake dessert and a great go-to treat with minimal fuss . No cooking. Just mix ingredients, pour into the pie crust and slam in the freezer – done!
I hope this little slice of heaven brightens up your day! Just the idea that it’s waiting for me in my freezer when I get home is making mine a bit better.
Top Tips
- Store in the freezer and bring out just before serving. The only drawback to this lemonade pie is how quickly it seemed to melt. Which isn’t that big of a drawback. Just means you have to eat it faster!
- Save time and stay ahead of the game by making a few pies at once. Perfect for party prep!
- Return any leftover pie to the freezer.
- Top with slices of lemon and strawberries.

Nutrition
Leave the concentrate as is :)
Do you add water to the lemonade concentrate or just use the concentrate as is?
It should be fine for at least a month if properly stored in the freezer. You just want to avoid freezer burn. Hope you love it!
I just wondered how long you can leave it in the freezer, I ended up with two for some reason and we won’t go through two tonight. Will it keep for awhile?
I am always trying to cut down on sugar and this pie is loaded with it — sweetened condensed milk, sweetened lemonade, sweetened cool whip. Has anyone tried to make a lower sugar version of it? The small can vs. the large can of lemonade would help some. I’m wondering if you could use lemon juice instead of the lemonade? Just wondering if anyone has experimented.
Easy to make pie that sounds and looks yummy.
Love an almond crust! Hope you love the recipe :)
This pie looks absolutely amazing! I think it would go well during any season. I’m allergic to a few food items so the only thing I’d change is the crust. I would use an almond crust like my mom uses for her cherry cream cheese pie.
Yes you should be able to! It should work just fine. Hope you love it!!
Hello, can I replace the lemonade can with natural lemonade? We don’t have that product in my area. Thanks!
this is a yummy pie for summer. I love a sweet tart fruit pie. But please this will make 2 so get 2 crusts. First time I made it I put the other half in serving size dishes and put them in the freezer, too yum!
Hey EL! I used a 8 ounce tub of cool whip and a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk. I saw your earlier comment and I’m not familiar with Rich’s whip but I’m assuming you could probably use the same amount and it would most likely work; if it’s similar to cool whip. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for stopping by!
What size tub of coolwhip do you use?
Also, how big is the can of sweetened condensed milk?
This looks yum!
How big is “one can sweetened condensed milk”?
Also, can I use frozen Rich’s whip instead of cool whip? How much would I need?
Thanks!
Such a good idea!Thank you James!
try adding cream cheese or lemon jello
That’s so odd, I didn’t have that problem at all! I’ll have to play around with it and see what I can do to thicken the layer. I don’t want that happening, that’s for sure!! Thanks for letting me know, I really appreciate it!
Hello,
I just made this recipe for Father’s Day. The flavors were nice and tart and fresh, the colors beautiful. My only problem was that the lemonade layer just would not set up. I had it in the freezer for over 12 hours so that wasn’t the problem. It only set up enough to the consistency of pudding. Maybe there’s something that could be added to the lemon layer to help harden it?
I’m making this for my nieces birthday this week. Can you use any flavor frozen Lemonade?
the recipe states: 12 oz. can lemonade
Thanks Kathy! That’s a huge help!
I have made a lemonade pie for years and use only a small can of lemonade instead of 12 oz. can. This works out better. Mine never melts. I also use a regular size container of whipped topping. Hope this helps.
I’ve only ever made it with whipped cream. I would think the same amount of whipped cream would work just fine! Thanks for stopping by!
Although this looks Ah-Ma-zing…and it sounds like it tastes just as good…I am not a huge Cool-Whip fan. Do you know of any alternatives…or could regular whipped cream be used instead? Any thought? Cheers!
So smart Nita, thank you!
If you don’t want this to melt so quickly, try adding 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Combine the cream cheese and the sweetened condensed milk before stirring in the lemonade concentrate, tben proceed as directed. If this “dilutes” the lemon flavor too much try adding lemon juice until you get the flavor you want.
I’m so glad you loved it!
This is scrupulous!!! I did have lots of leftover filling and strawberry mix. Possibly enough for another pie but, I made 8 little ramekins for the grandkids. Yummy !
Yay!!!! Hope you love it :)
Ok, I haven’t even eaten this yet, I just mixed it up & put it in the freezer, but just from licking the knife from swirling it… oh…my… Wow! I can’t wait to pull it out & eat it!
Hey Katie-
I don’t currently have a way to measure the calories or nutritional info (I’m hoping to get a good app in the future for that). It makes about 8 slices of pie though as far as servings go. You could make them as big or as small as you wanted :). Cool Whip is very low in calories, and the only other ingredients are sweetened condensed milk (I use the low fat kind) and lemonade concentrate). Hope that helps a little!! Thanks for stopping by :)
Do you happen to have the serving size and how many calories it is? It doesn’t look like it would be too many but I’m on a diet and only have a certain amount per day.
Probably the smaller can of lemonade works better, but I’m glad it was still yummy! Do you have enough to make another pie with the remainder? Thanks for stopping by and trying the recipe :)
I made this pie and it is yummy. I used the large size can of lemonade and the regular size tub of coolwhip and I had WAY too much filling for an 8 inch pie. Any ideas?
The lemonade concentrate is just the frozen can of lemonade that you can buy and add water to to create lemonade. It’s usually in a 12 oz can. That’s probably what you’re thinking of too…we are most likely just using different terms :). Hope that helps!
This looks and sounds like my kind of dessert. What exactly is Lemonade Concentrate? Can I just usw a regular can of lemonade?
No problem, I’m glad you caught it! And thanks so much for stopping by. Scout appreciates it too :)
Thank you so much for adjusting the recipe- your recipes are always so good and you and your 4-legged baby are a so fun–some people would not have been as lovely and cooperative with the critique and you were !!!
You’re so right, sorry I forgot to indicate that! I used a standard 12 ounce can of concentrate. I’m updating the recipe now. Thanks for stopping by!
It would be helpful to know the size can for the lemonade. Using the wrong size leaves the possibility of a disaster of a dessert. Unfortunately this is happening too often with these kind of recipes not getting the proper quantities or size cans to use.
Ha!! Thanks so much Lesley, you are always so sweet. Thanks so much for saying hi :)
As long as it melts in my mouth – I’m okay with it! LOL This is stunning, what a lovely pie to make for a summer dessert. You have stunning photos as usual. I envy your family, I wish I lived in your house.
