    👪 FAQs

    Why use sugar cones for the crust?

    Using sugar cone crumbles takes these classic flavors to the next level!

    Yes after mixing everything together, freeze for at least 2 hours, and up to three months.

    Calories 470 kcal

    Ingredients
     

    • 5 ounces sugar cones (about 12 cones)
    • 5 tablespoons butter (melted)
    • ½ cup cream cheese (about 4 ounces)
    • 14 ounces chilled sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
    • 6 ounces lemonade concentrate, thawed (1 can)
    • 12 ounces whipped topping, thawed (1 container)
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Crush the sugar cones into crumbs (use a food processor or place the cones in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin). Melt the butter on the stovetop or in the microwave (30 seconds at a time on 50% power until melted).
      5 ounces sugar cones (about 12 cones), 5 tablespoons butter
    • Combine the sugar cone crumbs and butter, and press into a 7 inch pie plate. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
    • After the crust has set, mix the cream cheese and the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl with a hand mixer until smooth.
      ½ cup cream cheese, 14 ounces chilled sweetened condensed milk
    • Add the lemonade concentrate and mix until well combined.
      6 ounces lemonade concentrate, thawed
    • Gently fold in the whipped topping.
      12 ounces whipped topping, thawed
    • Pour the filling into the refrigerated sugar cone crust (you may have some filling left over depending on how deep your pie plate is). Place in the freezer for 2 hours (or more) before serving.

    Notes

    • This pie can be made in advance and stored in the freezer. Once frozen, cover with foil to protect it. If you are freezing it for more than a day or two, also place it in a resealable plastic bag or wrap tightly in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.
    • Combining the cream cheese with the rest of the mixture will be easier if you let it soften first.
    • For both the cream cheese and whipped topping, you can use either full fat or fat free.
    • If you don't have lemon concentrate, substitute with about ½ cup of fresh lemon juice.
