No contest entry - Just pie

This was one of the first things I learned to make: Dream Whip Pie.





Sorry if this was posted previously. This weekend was full of guests as we had not only a 'housewarming party' but a 'housewarming weekend'.

I made many of those as a tween/teen! So, so yummy!

It looks just luscious!

Some Southern friends taught me a variant some time ago. This is really really trashy, but tastes a lot better than you'd think from the ingredients, is blazing-fast to make, and looks very impressive:

1 can frozen juice concentrate (pink lemonade and limeade are both especially good, but whatever you like is fine; I think you want the smaller cans, not the huge ones), thawed a little
1 tub Cool Whip, thawed if frozen
1 regular pie crust, baked and cooled

Mix the can of juice with most of the Cool Whip. Put in the pie crust. Serve in wedges with a little dollop of Cool Whip on top. Keeps okay in the fridge for a day or so if you can't eat all of it at once.

i posted a similar recipe when i posted the rules to the contest!!!

lemonade pie:

6 oz frozen lemonade (can't find 6 oz cans anymore half to get 12 oz and cut in half) mostly thawed
1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened to mix
1 tub cool whip
1 graham cracker crust

mix first 3 ingredients and pour in crust, freeze at least 4 hours....very tart, creamy refreshing pie!!! can then store in fridge or keep in freezer and let thaw about 10-15 minutes before serving!

Oh my, you're right, I saw it a bit later! The ones my friends made didn't have ice cream in it though, just the frozen juice and cool whip, and a regular piecrust. I learned it from some starving Bible College marrieds, so likely that's why it's a lot humbler ;)

I've made dream pie too, but now I use real whipping cream, whipped, instead of the dream whip mix. I've made dream pies a lot for potlucks, and they're always gone in a flash!
