What you need
For the filling:
- 4 cups of vanilla ice cream, softened
- 6 ounces of frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- Optional grated lemon peel for garnish
For the crust:
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/3 cup of melted butter
- 1 1/2 cup (about 20 squares) of crushed graham crackers
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all of the ingredients for the crust and mix well
- Take out a pie plate (about 9/1 1/4 inches) and press the crust firmly against the bottom
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the color turns light brown, then let cool for about 30 minutes
- While the crust is cooling, grab a large bowl and mix the ice cream and lemonade concentrate together
- Mound the mixture into the crust
- Freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm
- Several minutes before serving let the pie stand at room temperature for several minutes
- Garnish with a lemon peel and store in a freezer
For looks, a few drops of yellow food coloring can be added to the filling mixture.
