Ingredients
– 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup lemonade (freshly squeezed or store-bought)
– 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
– Zest of 1 lemon (for garnish)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer or whisk
– Rubber spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Pie dish
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, begin by beating the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until it’s creamy and smooth. I usually let the cream cheese sit out for a bit before I start to make this process easier. Once it’s nice and fluffy, add in the powdered sugar and lemonade, and mix until everything is well combined. The tangy lemonade will immediately brighten up the cream cheese. It smells wonderful, and you’ll see the mixture start to turn a lovely pale yellow. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
