Pink Lemonade Pie


Another Pintrest recipe and if you want to make it exact you are going to have to go to the link.  It looked so yummy I just had to try it.  I cheated and bought a graham cracker crust and used cool whip instead of whipping cream.  Opted out of the pink coconut but used pink sugar sprinkles.  This is a freezer pie and it would be very refreshing for the summer.  I was also thinking of adding raspberries.  You could also it switch up and use Limeade.
Graham cracker pie crust
1 8-ounce packet of cream cheese, softened
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup pink lemonade concentrate (not mixed with water)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
Red food coloring
Cool Whip

Using the whip attachment and your stand-type mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, mix the cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together on medium high speed until the mixture is smooth.  (If you place the sweetened condensed milk in the bowl first, the cream cheese will not stick to the bowl and you will have little need to scrape the sides.)

Add the lemonade concentrate and lemon juice and continue beating.  Color with red food coloring as desired.

Pour the mixture into the pie shell and place it in the freezer.  After frozen spread on thawed Cool Whip and return to freezer.  Remove from freezer a few minutes before cutting.
