Instructions
-
Cool the Crust: Begin by ensuring that your graham cracker pie crust is thoroughly cooled. This step is crucial for achieving a perfect texture and enhancing the pie’s overall flavor.
-
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen lemonade concentrate and the Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to enhance the visual appeal of the filling. Stir the mixture until it’s completely smooth and well combined.
-
Incorporate Cool Whip: Gently fold in about ¾ of the Cool Whip into the lemonade mixture. This will help to create a light, airy texture that balances the richness of the condensed milk.
-
Pour into Crust: Once the filling is well mixed, pour it into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to ensure a beautiful presentation.
-
Refrigerate: Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least one hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and the filling to firm up slightly.
-
Garnish and Serve: After chilling, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Use the remaining Cool Whip to garnish the top, adding dollops for a decorative touch. Finish off with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and color.
-
Enjoy: Slice and serve this refreshing Lemonade Pie to friends and family, and prepare for the compliments to roll in!
