i want you to think that i am a goddess in the kitchen whipping up gourmet recipes with imported ingredients like blood orange olive oil from italy and cocoa powder straight from spain. i have every kitchen gadget you can imagine, and i never burn anything. also, i am wearing heels and lipstick. 

such is not the case. i try to be a fancy chef, but then i remember things like powdered mashed potatoes exist. this pie requires pink lemonade concentrate from the can and cool whip. i'm not ashamed.

this recipe came into my inbox from lulu the baker with such authority and confidence that i couldn't say no. instead i said siryessir. the ingredient list is six items long, and i actually reduced it to four because i bought my graham cracker crust instead of making it. ain't nobody got time for that.

pink lemonade pie 

the crust: 
buy it, fools. don't be an overachiever. 

the filling:
6 oz pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 8-oz container cool whip, plus more for topping 

in a medium bowl, whisk together pink lemonade and sweetened condensed milk until combined. gently fold in cool whip. spread filling evenly in completely cooled crust and freeze until solid. cut and serve immediately. if desired, top with more cool whip or whipped cream. 


done and done! the pie was delicious and perfectly tangy. i made it for my co-workers the day before our 4th of july holiday, and they ate it up. literally and figuratively. this same recipe would also be great served in mini graham cracker crusts as individual desserts. maybe a blueberry or two on top as a sweet garnish?

and there you have it. the easiest pie recipe in the world. thank you, lulu
