To start making Pink Lemonade Squares I melted some butter on a low setting in the microwave.

Then I measured some gluten free graham crumbs into a mixing bowl.

Next I poured the melted butter into the graham crumbs.

I used a fork to combine the ingredients until the butter was well incorporated.

Then I scraped the graham crumbs into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Next I used the fork again to press the graham crumbs down into the pan evenly and firmly.

Then I dumped some whipped cream cheese and a tub of Cool Whip into a large mixing bowl.

I also dumped in a frozen pink lemonade concentrate.

Then I used an electric hand mixture to combine the ingredients until they were smooth.

I spread the pink lemonade mixture evenly over the graham crumb base.

Next I put the Pink Lemonade Squares in the fridge for at least an hour to set a bit.

When I removed the pan from the fridge I topped the squares with some fresh raspberries.

The berries add a burst of natural sweetness and a gorgeous ruby-red finish that makes the dessert as stunning as it is refreshing.

These Pink Lemonade Squares are a bright, no-bake dessert that tastes like pure sunshine.

Have some whipped cream available for those that want to add a dollop to make this dessert even more decadent.

FAQs:

What should I serve with pink lemonade squares?

Pink lemonade squares are bright, creamy, and citrusy — so they pair beautifully with light, fresh flavors. Here are some perfect serving ideas:

☕ With Something to Sip

  • Iced tea (sweet or unsweetened) – A classic summer pairing.

  • Fresh lemonade or sparkling lemonade – For a fun citrus-on-citrus theme.

  • Hot coffee or espresso – The slight bitterness balances the sweetness.

  • Raspberry iced tea – Echoes the fresh raspberry topping.

Fresh & Fruity Pairings

  • Fruit salad with strawberries, blueberries, and melon – Keeps the menu light and refreshing.

  • Extra fresh raspberries or mixed berries – Simple and elegant.

  • Grilled pineapple slices – Adds a subtle caramelized sweetness.

Light Add-Ons for Entertaining

  • Mini gluten free shortbread cookies – Buttery and mild, they won’t overpower the citrus.

  • Vanilla bean ice cream – For an extra indulgent summer dessert plate.

  • Whipped cream with a hint of lemon zest – Adds a pretty finishing touch.

Perfect For:

  • Baby showers

  • Bridal showers

  • Spring brunches

  • Summer BBQs

  • Mother’s Day gatherings

Because they’re cool and creamy, they’re best served alongside other light dishes rather than heavy, rich desserts. Think fresh, airy, and citrus-friendly for the perfect balance!

How do I store pink lemonade squares?

Pink lemonade squares need to be kept refrigerated since they’re made with cream cheese and whipped topping.

Refrigerator

  • Store covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.

  • Keep refrigerated for up to 3–4 days.

  • For the cleanest slices, chill well before serving — they firm up beautifully when cold.

❄️ Freezer (for longer storage)

  • Freeze in a single layer until firm, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil or place in an airtight container.

  • Freeze for up to 1 month.

  • Thaw in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

  • They can also be served slightly frozen for a firmer, almost ice-cream–like texture.

If topped with fresh raspberries, they’re best enjoyed within the first couple of days for the freshest look and flavor.
