Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 quart (946 ml) vanilla ice cream, softened
- 6 ounces (170 grams) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 4 ounces (113 grams) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Crust and Garnish:
- 1 prepared graham cracker crust
- 1 lemon, zested
Coloring:
- ½–1 teaspoon red food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a smooth, vibrant filling by gently folding softened vanilla ice cream with pink lemonade concentrate, ensuring a uniform blush-pink hue through careful incorporation of whipped topping and a hint of red food coloring.
- Select a pre-baked graham cracker crust as the foundation, creating a crisp, sweet base for the luscious frozen dessert.
- Transfer the silky mixture into the prepared crust, using a flexible spatula to distribute the filling evenly and eliminate any air pockets.
- Carefully position the pie in the freezer’s coldest section, allowing it to solidify completely for approximately 4-5 hours until the texture becomes firm and slice-ready.
- Before serving, allow the pie to rest at room temperature for 2-3 minutes to facilitate smooth cutting and prevent cracking.
- Enhance the presentation by delicately garnishing with wispy lemon zest curls or a gentle dollop of additional whipped topping, creating an elegant and inviting dessert.
- Slice the pie with a sharp, chilled knife for clean, precise servings that showcase the pie’s beautiful pink coloration and creamy consistency.
