Sweet Desserts (on request!)

I get someone dropping me a request every once and a while and I do try to oblige although I am not (as of yet) so expediant to try or post the recipes as soon as I'd like. Please bear with me. I want to try everything that you give me an idea for.

This recipe comes from a link that one of my husband's co-workers sent to me. I thought it sounded fresh, delicious AND I had just frozen some berries that I got at a $1.00 a pint. If you run across this deal...GET THEM! Blueberries and Blackberries freeze very well and are perfect for baking and of course Sunday morning pancakes. Anyway, this frozen Lemonade Pie comes from the foodtv.com website with a few tweeks from me.

Here's what you're going to need:

For the Crust:
1-1/2 cup cinnamon graham crumbs, I used my little bitty food processor and crumbed them myself....calling KitchenAid
5 tablespoons butter

For the Filling:
2 cups whipping cream
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, chilled
1 6-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate (do not thaw)

For the Topping:
1 cup blueberries and blackberries (or just blueberries or raspberries are all interchangable)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Some Cool Whip Lite too!

What to do:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbsand melted butter. Press firmly on the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 7 minutes; cool completely.


Make the filling: In a cold medium bowl(or if you have a stand mixer!), whip the cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, stir together the condensed milk and frozen lemonade. Gently fold the lemonade mixture into the whipped cream. Pour the filling into the crust; freeze overnight.


About an hour before you serve the pie, make the topping: Toss the berries in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Then, add a thin layer of cool whip on the entire top surface, garnish the edges with the berries and make it look sort of pretty.

I only tried the filling before it was frozen and without the berries. My husband said it was good as he took it to work for his co worker to enjoy. I hope everyone in the office got a taste. I also took a picture before I left for work that morning however it wasn't so good. Which brings me to pictures on this blog. I enjoy taking pictures of the food I make for the blog and like cook books with pictures it helps. The last time I tried to upload several pictures it didn't go so well but I do hope in the near future to add the pics I've taken to their corresponding entry.

While making this pie I came up with a twist or two-maybe I'll get to making it.

Keep on enjoying...
