Ingredients

Instructions
-
Prepare the Crust:
Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted margarine. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until slightly golden. Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the filling.

Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, blend the thawed frozen lemonade concentrate and the frozen yogurt using an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should only take about 1-2 minutes, so keep an eye on it to avoid over-mixing. -
Assemble the Squares:
Once the graham cracker crust has cooled, spread the yogurt-lemonade mixture evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure it’s evenly distributed. -
Freeze:
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm. If you’re short on time, you can freeze it overnight for the best results. -
Serve:
Once the squares are fully frozen, remove the pan from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make cutting easier. Cut into 9 squares and serve immediately. Enjoy your cool and creamy Frozen Lemonade Graham Squares!
Tips:
- For a touch of extra flavor, consider adding a zest of lemon or a bit of mint to the yogurt-lemonade mixture before spreading it over the crust.
- If you prefer a more tangy flavor, use a tart frozen yogurt flavor or a bit more lemonade concentrate.
- These squares can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just be sure to keep them covered to prevent freezer burn.
