I discovered this Lemonade Pie recipe scribbled on an index card in my grandmother’s recipe box, a simple treasure promising a taste of pure sunshine. The first time I made it, the bright, tangy scent of lemon filling my kitchen felt like a burst of summer, even in the middle of February. When I finally took a bite of the chilled, silky-smooth pie with its crisp graham cracker crust, I was floored by its perfect balance of sweet and tart. It was instant nostalgia, a dessert so effortless and refreshing it instantly earned a permanent spot in my warm-weather rotation.
