## Instructions
### 1. **Make the Crust**
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. Pour in the lemonade concentrate and blend until fully combined and smooth.
### 3. **Fold in Whipped Topping**
Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and fluffy.
### 4. **Assemble the Pie**
Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap.
### 5. **Chill**
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Before serving, garnish with lemon zest or thin lemon slices for a fresh look and extra zing.
