Easy Lemon Berry Pie Recipe - Summer Dessert (2024)

This is the simplest frozen lemon dessert – it’s so easy and refreshing! Serve refrigerated or frozen to make it one of the summer dessert recipes you’ll want on any hot summer night.

With a simple graham cracker crust, this frozen lemon pie recipe can be served individually as shown or in a traditional pie pan.

My mom had a recipe box full of quick and easy summer desserts. My sister, Cheryl, recently shared one of her favorites with me – this sweet and simple frozen lemon dessert.

It’s so incredibly easy and refreshing after a hot summer day. I mixed it up a little and made individual servings with a brown sugar graham cracker crust.

The crust was so good, that I was one short! Not sure how that happened! Cheryl and I are not sure what mom called these (it was omitted from her recipe), but I think frozen lemon pie suits them perfectly!
