Crust
- 2 cups graham crumbs
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon salt (use 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter)
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- ⅔ cup evaporated milk
- (1) 3.4-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
- (2) 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- lemon slices or edible yellow flowers for garnish
Crust
Whisk the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Add the butter and stir to mix. Place the crust mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a flat-bottomed cup to tamp it into the bottom and up the sides. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill.
Filling
Whisk the milk and pudding to mix and break up any lumps. When the mixture is smooth, set aside. It will thicken as it sits.
Use a mixer and whisk attachment to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and lemonade concentrate and beat until smooth. Add the thickened pudding mixture. Beat until the pudding is incorporated. Place the batter into the prepared pie crust and smooth with a spatula.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Garnish with lemon slices or edible yellow flowers. Serve chilled.
