Lemon Pie Recipe Cream Cheese Lemonade Pie with Lemon Pudding

This lemon pie recipe with cream cheese and lemonade combines the zesty brightness of lemon with the creamy indulgence of a no-bake cheesecake. A buttery graham cracker crust holds a fluffy filling made with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and frozen lemonade concentrate, with an optional lemon pudding layer for extra citrus flavor. Topped with whipped cream and lemon zest, this chilled dessert is perfect for summer gatherings, potlucks, or anytime you crave a refreshing treat.
