Frozen Pink Lemonade Pie

Time: 30 minutes prep + 6 hours freezing time

Yield: 2 pies

You will need:

- 2   1.5 quart containers vanilla ice cream (the regular size)

- 1 large can Pink Lemonade Concentrate

- 5 drops red food coloring (optional)

- 2 1/2 C graham cracker crumbs (2 packages)

- 1/2 C sugar

- 1/2 C + 2 T  melted butter

- dash of salt

Before you start, take your graham crackers and put them into a zip lock bag and roll over with a rolling pin. Do not smash, just roll!  

1. Take your ice cream out of the freezer to let it soften just a bit while you make the crust. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter, and dash of salt in a small mixing bowl. Smash all the ingredients together with a fork until well combined. Press them into each pie plate. You can shape the crumbs into the corners with the bottom of a measuring cup.

2. Your ice cream should look like this when done softening. You don't want it to be totally melted. Just softened a bit.

 

3. combine the softened ice cream, food coloring and frozen concentrate into a large mixing bowl, or use a Kitchen Aid. WARNING: if you don't have the Professional Sized Kitchen Aid you won't be able to fit all of it in. You can easily use a large bowl, and some hand held beaters. 

4. Mix the ice cream, lemonade, and food coloring together until smooth.

5. Pour half of the ice cream mixture into each pie crust. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours.

6. When you are ready to serve, let the pie sit out of the freezer for about 10 minutes so it is easier to cut.
