A Refreshing Summer Treat

So there is a dessert that I had at a party at our neighbor's house that I fell in love with and couldn't wait to try it myself!  It's called Lemonade Pie and it's so delicious and refreshing.  I made it two nights ago when I couldn't sleep...I know, me with insomnia, shocking, right?

Take a look at this yummy dish...You'll want to make it too after you see how yummy it looks in the photos!


If you are interested in trying it yourself, here's the recipe:

Graham Cracker Crust:
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
7 Tbs. butter, melted

In medium bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar & melted butter.  Press firmly into pie pan and bake for 7 minutes at 350.

Lemonade Filling:
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, chilled
1 (12 oz) container cool whip, thawed
1 (6 oz) can frozen lemonade concentrate, keep frozen
1 tsp. candied lemon peel

In a medium bowl, add chilled milk and cool whip.  Fold gently.  Add frozen lemonade and continue to fold.  Do not allow mixture to become soupy.  Pour mixture into pie crust and freeze overnight.  Garnish with candied lemon peel.  (As you can see from my pics, I left off the peel.  I've also had this with a strawberry fruit topping and it was a perfect combination!)

ENJOY!
