Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Pie

This is an incredibly refreshing pie for these hot summer days. Kids and adults will both love this one. If you love lemonade you will love this pie!

Use the optional fruit topping if you want a prettier berry lemonade pie. (Mom is allergic to berries so i only use the topping when making the pie for a party, since she loves this one)

Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Pie

1 can frozen pink lemonade concentrate,thawed slightly (you can use regular lemonade)
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened (you can also use lemon sherbet for a totally different taste)
1 graham cracker crust
3 cups strawberries (optional)
1/2 c powdered sugar (optional)



1
Mix ice cream and lemonade together in large bowl. Spoon into graham cracker crust, cover and freeze pie overnight.
2
If desired use this fruit topping before cutting and serving: wash, hull and cut strawberries into slices. Put powdered sugar in a tupper ware container, add strawberries. Cover tightly and gently toss berries in sugar to coat completely and to get the juices from the strawberries to combine with the sugar to make a light syrup. Spoon on to pie prior to cutting and serving.

Frosted Crisp Lemon Cookies

I found this recipe on the side of a Krusteaz Lemon Bar mix. I tweaked it to my liking a bit and added the anise frosting and also lemon frosting and came up with these. The cookies are crisp and refreshing and a great summer treat. My daughter loves thick crisp cookies, she is not a fan of softer types. So I wanted something she would enjoy also. She loved them. I made 36 large cookies and there are none left. lol. I made 12 plain unfrosted, 12 with anise frosting and 12 with lemon frosting.
