I used to make these all the time for my family of seven. We all loved it. I gotta make them now.

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. We loved it!

This reminds me of the grasshopper pie I used to make in the 70s. Used melted marshmallows instead of condensed milk and whipping cream instead of dream whip. I remember loving it and serving it often.

Thank you for being real about how it tastes maybe if you put less lemon juice it wouldn't be so puncky

I’ve done orange and lime before and it’s is amazing!

Sounds fabulous with so many variations to try! Might add more whipped or condensed milk? Cream cheese? Yum, can’t wait to try! Thanks for the reviews and demo!

Hi, I appreciate your recipe. I wanted to tell you that I’ve seen other recipes and they use only half of a 12 ounce concentrate of the lemonade so 6 ounces and then one can of sweetened condensed milk and one Cool Whip and then also you don’t have to put it in the freezer. You can put it in the refrigerator for eight hours and it should set up also. That may have been the problem. But I bet yours was delicious. I just found another recipe on YouTube called lemonade pie and they have the same thing 6 ounces lemonade. Concentrate can of sweetened condensed milk container of Cool Whip 1 teaspoon of lemon extract one box of instant lemon pudding And 1 8 ounce package of cream cheese. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for a while and when it’s soft, go ahead and blend it when it’s blended with no lumps, you add the sweeten condensed milk and blend it some more and when that’s blended you add 6 ounces of lemonade concentrate and 1 teaspoon of lemon extract. You blend it again And then you add to that your package of instant lemon pudding powder and you get that mixed in really well and then you fold in 1 8 ounce container of Cool Whip. It makes a good size 9 ounce graham cracker crust. It fills that. So you can buy that at the store. And then you put it in the refrigerator for eight hours. I have not tasted it, but it looks wonderful and everyone said it was delicious who had made it. Thank you for your recipe. I bet that would be good! I’m going to try your recipe with the 6 ounces of concentrate that I have left over. I’m going to look at other videos on your channel. Thank you. also, when you blend it, do not use a spoon but a mixer. God Bless you!

Thank you for sharing this recipe! Can you do other flavors and let us know how they tast/turned out?

I remember making this growing up. Memories

If you double the whipped cream, you can make three pies and further dilute the lemon flavor.

You could just use fresh squeezed lemon juice, or lime juice to decrease the sour taste. Also, just use half a can. It's a concentrate, so you can use less.

i;ve made something similar with kumquats. no lemon tho. i think it was cream cheese and coolwhip.

I just watched Dylans video and came here.

Just admit you don't like it. You say "I like it, " and then spent over a minute essentially saying you don't.

Personally I would try to make this with frozen P.O.G. juice concentrate (Passion Orange Guava).

I wonder if you could make a meatloaf, wrap it in bacon and cook it on the spit??? Are you up for that challege? lol

I wish people would give actual measurements. Not all products are created equal and not all regions carry the same amount of the same product.

From full screening this vid, i can tell her lemonade is 13 fl oz (Minute Maid and NoName {canadian store brand} Don't come in that amount) and Walmart in Canada doesn't carry Great Value Frozen Lemonade (I've looked on the website) and while I cannot tell the amount of Cool Whip is her tub, but they only come in a full Litre in my area.
I've got Google-Foo skills and I think that's an 8oz tub, but i'm not certain.

Anyone got exact measurements?
