Ingredients For No-Bake Lemon Pie

I love the flavor of lemon because it adds so much tang and flavor to food. This is such an easy dessert to make ahead. Grab the ingredients to keep on hand until you’re ready to make it! Follow the recipe card below for exact measurements.

Graham Cracker Crust

Graham Crackers: Crushed to use for the crust.

Sugar: Sweeten the pie just a bit with a little bit of white sugar.

Butter: Adds moisture to the crumbs to make a buttery crust.

Lemon Pie

Lemon Jello: One package of boxed lemon jello.

Water: We use both boiling water and cold water in this recipe.

Ice Cubes: Makes the water cold enough to help the gelatin set faster.

Whipped Topping: Store-bought cool whip makes this easy so easy!

Lemon Juice: Fresh is always best!

Lemon Zest: Adds extra zesty zing because it really brings out the lemon flavor.

How to Make No-Bake Lemon Pie

Not only is this no-bake lemon pie so delicious and refreshing, but it’s also one of the easiest pies to make because you don’t even have to turn on your oven. The hardest thing about making this pie is waiting for it to set in the refrigerator before being able to eat it. Follow my step-by-step instructions below on the recipe card.

Graham Cracker Crust:

Pulse the Graham Crackers: Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until you have fine crumbs.

Mix Together the Graham Cracker Crumbs, Sugar, and Melted Butter: Add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Mix in the melted butter and stir until it resembles wet sand.

Press Into the Pan: Press the crust into a 9-inch pie dish and place it in the refrigerator.

Lemon Pie:

Dissolve the Jello and Boiling Water: In a large bowl, add the boiling water and gelatin powder. Stir until the gelatin completely dissolves.

Add Cold Water and Ice Cubes: Add the cold water and the ice cubes, and stir until the gelatin is slightly thickened. This step is important otherwise, the mixture won’t set up if you add the cool whip before the gelatin has cooled and thickened a bit.

Add Whipped Topping, Lemon Juice, and Zest: Add the whipped topping to the gelatin and then whisk together until smooth. Mix in lemon juice and lemon zest.

Pour Into Pie Crust and Chill: Pour the filling into the chilled crust and refrigerate for 6 hours or until the filling has set completely.

Garnish With Lemon: Top with lemon slices and zest before serving.

Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Recipe

Everybody loves a good jalapeno popper, so why not take those flavors and add them to another classic comfort food? I LOVE grilled cheeses, and didn’t really think they could get any better. But adding spicy jalapenos, cool cream cheese, and bacon does just that! It’s the grilled cheese upgrade you never knew you needed.

You can make your grilled cheese on a skillet as per usual, or make it in the air fryer for easy prep. (Personally, this is my favorite way to make it! It turns out so crispy and divine!) Either way, you’re going to love this cheesy, spicy, bacon-filled goodness.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Like any homemade sandwich, feel free to swap out the bread, cheese, or toppings to make it just the way you like it! The exact measurements I used to make my jalapeno popper grilled cheese are in the recipe card below.

Jalapeños: These spicy peppers provide a kick of heat and flavor, giving the grilled cheese a signature jalapeño popper taste. Yum!

Olive Oil: The olive oil helps sauté the jalapeños, enhancing their flavor and making them tender.

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese adds a creamy and tangy element to the filling, reminiscent of traditional jalapeño poppers.

Green Onions: Diced to add some mild onion flavor.

Garlic Powder: For a little extra savory goodness. You can also use roasted garlic!

Colby-Jack Cheese: The shredded Colby-Jack cheese brings gooeyness and a rich blend of flavors.

Bacon: Crispy bacon adds a smoky and salty element to the jalapeno popper grilled cheese. Use precooked bacon for easy prep!

Bread: I usually go for French bread or sourdough, but you can use any kind you want.

Butter: Softened butter is spread on the bread to achieve a golden and crispy exterior during grilling.

Garlic Salt (Optional): If used, garlic salt can add an extra layer of garlic flavor and seasoning to the sandwich.

Italian Seasoning (Optional): My favorite blend of herbs! They give the jalapeno popper grilled cheese extra flavor and make it smell amazing.

How to Make a Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich

It’s just as easy as making a classic grilled cheese. The only extra step is to roast your jalapenos to really bring out their delicious flavor!

Roast Your Jalapenos: Preheat the oven to broil. Place the whole jalapenos on a baking sheet then drizzle with olive oil. Broil for 5-6 minutes turning halfway through. Watch the jalapenos closely, they may broil quicker depending on your oven.

Allow Jalapenos to Sweat: Place the roasted jalapenos in a ziplock bag to “sweat” for 5 minutes.

Remove Skin and Seeds: Remove the skin and cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise. Discard the seeds.

Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, green onion, and garlic powder. 

Add Spread: Spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of all 4 slices of bread.

Layer With Toppings: Top two of the slices with shredded cheese, and the other two slices with bacon and roasted jalapenos.

Butter: Carefully close the sandwich and butter the top slice of bread. Add a sprinkle of garlic salt and Italian seasoning if you desire. 

Heat Skillet: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered side down on the skillet and quickly butter and season the topside. 

Cook: Cook for about 4 minutes per side. Turn the heat down if the outside starts to brown too quickly. Low and slow is the key to melting the cheese and not getting the outside too dark.
