Description

A refreshing and tangy Lemon Cream Cheese Pie made with a creamy filling of cream cheese, sour cream, and lemonade Kool-Aid, set in a classic graham cracker crust and topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. Perfectly chilled for at least two hours, this no-bake dessert is ideal for summer gatherings or anytime you crave a light, fruity pie.


Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 2 bricks (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 packet (0.23 oz or 6.5 g) lemonade Kool-Aid
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Topping

  • Blueberries
  • Raspberries
  • Strawberries
  • Whipped cream


Instructions

  1. Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for the perfect pie filling texture.
  2. Add sour cream and sugar: Add the sour cream and sugar to the beaten cream cheese and beat again until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  3. Mix in Kool-Aid: Add the packet of lemonade Kool-Aid powder to the mixture and beat again until the flavor is evenly distributed and the filling takes on a slight yellow tint.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, making sure the filling becomes uniform without deflating the whipped topping’s airy texture.
  5. Fill the crust: Transfer the creamy filling evenly into the prepared 9-inch graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  6. Chill the pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set firmly before adding the toppings.
  7. Add fresh berries and whipped cream: Shortly before serving, top the chilled pie with a mixture of fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and a dollop of whipped cream for added color and flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the sugar amount slightly.
  • Use fresh, ripe berries for the best taste and presentation.
  • This pie is best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • You can substitute the lemonade Kool-Aid with lemon gelatin powder for a slightly different texture and flavor.
