❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use bottled lemonade instead of concentrate?
Lemonade concentrate is recommended for the best flavor and texture. Bottled lemonade may make the filling too thin.

Yes! Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours before serving.

How long does it last in the fridge?
Stored covered, it will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Can I use a store-bought crust?
Absolutely. A pre-made graham cracker crust works perfectly and saves time.
