Why I love Whole Lemon Lemonade Freezer Pie?

There are so many reasons why I love this frozen lemonade pie recipe. The main reason is because it has the perfect balance between tartness and sweetness, and combined with the other ingredients, it’s perfect. I must admit that I have no self-control whenever I make this recipe, so I don’t make it as often as I’d like. 

Why won’t my lemon pie filling thicken?

Over-mixing is one reason why your lemon pie filling may fail to thicken. Another reason why it might fail to thicken is because you simply need to place it in the freezer. 

How do you keep lemon pie filling from being runny?

To keep your lemon pie filling from being too runny, be sure to add the precise amount of lemons and other liquid ingredients. Also, be sure to freeze the pie initially for a minimum of four hours. Only thaw in the fridge 15 minutes before serving, and return any leftovers to the freezer. Never leave the pie in the fridge or at room temperature when not eating it. 

How to serve Whole Lemon Lemonade Freezer Pie?

There are many ways to serve this lemonade pie. First of all, you can simply portion it out and serve it with milk or coffee following your evening meal. However, it can be served any time, and with any foods or drinks to accompany it, but most people just like enjoying a slice by itself. 

Whole Lemon Lemonade Freezer Pie Cooking Tips:

Since this is a freezer pie, it needs to remain in the freezer whenever it’s not going to be served soon. Should you keep it in the fridge, or on the counter, instead, it will lose its texture and become runny and unappealing.

Don’t make this recipe one or two hours before you plan to serve it and wonder why it’s not firm. It needs time to set in the freezer, which is why the recipe calls for four hours minimum in the freezer. 

Variations of Whole Lemon Lemonade Freezer Pie:

If you want to customize this pie, there are many ways to do so. You might opt to add an orange to it in addition to lemons, place fruit on top as a garnish, or perform any number of other variations that you might think of. As long as you’re happy with the outcome, then your pie should be a hit.
