Frozen Blackberry Lemonade Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

→ Creamy Filling

02 - 2 packages (16 oz total) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
03 - 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
04 - 1/2 cup blackberry lemonade (like Florida's Natural brand)
05 - 1 teaspoon pure lemon extract

→ Whipped Topping

06 - 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
07 - 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar

→ Finishing Touches

08 - 1/4 cup blackberry jam, melted and slightly cooled
09 - Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese on medium speed until it's completely smooth and fluffy. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and continue beating for about a minute, pausing halfway to scrape down the bowl sides. While the mixer runs, slowly drizzle in the blackberry lemonade and lemon extract, beating until everything is beautifully combined.
02 - Transfer your cream cheese mixture to a large mixing bowl and set it aside for now. Clean your mixer bowl thoroughly, then add the cold heavy cream and sugar. Beat on medium speed until you get gorgeous stiff peaks that hold their shape perfectly.
03 - Gently fold the fluffy whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate all that lovely airiness. Spread this dreamy filling evenly into your graham cracker crust.
04 - Drizzle the melted blackberry jam over the top of your pie in whatever pattern makes you happy. Take a sharp knife and create beautiful swirls through the jam, making an artistic masterpiece. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm, or freeze for 4-6 hours if you prefer an extra-firm frozen texture.

# Notes:

01 - Some store-bought graham cracker crusts can be quite shallow, so you might have extra filling. Feel free to make one deep-dish pie or split it into two smaller pies.
02 - For the best texture, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before starting.
