Enough said, I need to soothe my nerves with a slice of frozen Lemonade Pie. This is the perfect summer dessert, easy peasy, frozen, creamy, and lemony. It really only has three ingredients 1 can of frozen lemonade, sweetened condensed milk, and whipped cream, or Cool Whip, all combined in a graham cracker crust, home made or store bought, your choice. I opted for the Cool Whip, to make it more figure friendly, and made my own graham cracker crust. You can top with fruit or not. Maybe just a sprig of mint will do for you. Any way you have this pie, it is a slice of heaven on a 90 degree day, and will certainly soothe jangled nerves.

What a beautiful pie for the 4th, Becky! (And I'm with you on the neighborhood fireworks!)
ReplyDeleteThis would definitely go far in soothing nerves that are frayed from neighborhood fireworks (especially the VERY late at night ones). I love how simple the ingredients are but how obviously sweet and tart the pie would be. Happy 4th!
