Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Pie

This is probably not one of my healthiest recipes, but it is such a nice treat on a really hot day like today. It is close to 100 degrees here today. This pie is really simple and cheap to make. This recipe is from The Pampered Chef Delightful Desserts.

Crust (I use a store bought graham cracker crust)
51 Vanilla wafers, divided
3 tablespoons butter

Filling
2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
1 can (16 ounces) frozen pink lemonade, thawed (3/4 cup)
1 container whipped topping, thawed, divided

Garnish (optional)
Lemon slices (edges dipped in pink sugar)
Pink sugar crystals
Mint Leaves


1.) Crush vanilla wafers in a plastic bag. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into bottom of a deep pie pan. Line edge of the pie pan with the remaining wafers.

2.) For filling, combine ice cream and lemonade concentrate and beat until smooth. Fold in 3 cups of the whipped topping. Pour into prepared pie pan. Freeze at least 3 hours.

3.) Garnish or decorate as you want.
