Lemonade Icebox Pie

So my mom first made this for me last summer and then I made it for my husband in 3 different flavors when he came home from his deployment. It is so refreshing and delicious and sooo easy! It's a great summery dessert and a great dish to bring to parties! 

It's essentially ice cream, cool whip and lemonade mixed together and frozen in a pie crust. I have tried it with lemonade, raspberry lemonade, pink lemonade, limeade, and orange juice. The limeade was not very good at all and the orange juice was decent but needed some work. So I'd recommend sticking with lemonade variations. :)

Lemonade Icebox Pie

1 Pint of vanilla icecream (about half of a 1.5 qt tub)
1 can frozen lemonade (or pink lemonade or strawberry lemonade)
1.5 tubs cool whip
Graham cracker pie crust

Pour the frozen lemonade into a bowl and blend. Add ice cream small amounts at a time and blend. Spoon in a full tub of cool whip and blend until smooth. Pour into the graham cracker pie crust (I had a little bit left over which I poured into a small bowl and threw in the freezer to eat just on its own for dessert). Put crust into freezer for at least 4 hours, then gently frost about half a tub of cool whip onto the top of the pie (optional). A previous time I made this, I didn't do the cool whip topping and just served each slice with a dollop of it instead. Either works fine. :)




Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!
Thanks!
