Pink Lemonade Pie

Ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust
1 quarter of a gallon of Vanilla Ice Cream ( ice cream used to be sold
in half gallons , so it would be half a carton, however they have
changed sizing now )
1/2 of an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip
1 small can of pink lemonade concentrate

Directions
Mix all together well, pour into prepared crust and freeze. When I use
my glass pie pans, they hold more, so I just use the whole container of
everything and
a large can of lemonade concentrate.


This recipe is really yummy and lots of fun. It'a also super easy to make. Enjoy!
