Lemonade Freezer Pie

By

Normally when I make this pie I don’t freeze it. But through a miscommnication between me and a 17 year old boy it got stuck in the freezer and when I pulled it out I was a little frustrated. But I couldn’t wait for that lemony kerpow flavor to thaw out so I cut into it and…oh man. I will never not freeze this pie ever again! It tastes kind of like ice cream and kind of like pudding and kind of like pie. Plus with just three ingredients you’ll love whipping this up in all of your favorite flavors! If you’re not a graham cracker crust fan you can certainly use pie crust instead. Whatever floats your boat you’ll pretty much have the easiest summer dessert you could ever want! I’ve made this same pie with chocolate pudding too and I can’t wait to try it frozen! I use instant pudding but you can also use cook and serve or your own homemade recipe. Pudding + cream cheese + pie crust = the best summer pie ever!
