A couple of summers back I made a pink lemonade pie which I renamed the ‘Pinkie Pie’. As I stated in my blog post from 2013, “pink lemonade tastes like there’s a party in my mouth!” This pink lemonade pie was definitely a ‘Pinkie Pie’.
I remade the pie last week during the bake-along and it turned out just as yummy. This is the recipe and directions I followed.
Crust:
1 1/4 cups of honey graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup of melted butter or margarine
Filling:
6 oz. can of pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
8 oz. container of Cool Whip, plus more for topping
Red food colouring (optional)
Sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a 9″ pie plate. Press the mixture firmly to the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Bake crust for 7 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool completely.
3. Whisk together pink lemonade and sweetened condensed milk in a bowl until combined.
4. Gently fold in Cool Whip. I added a couple of drops of red food colouring to make the mixture more pink, but it stayed a very pale colour and I didn’t want to overload the filling with dye so I just left it. Add sprinkles to the top if desired. I used blue sugar on mine.
5. Spread filling evenly in cooled crust and freeze until solid. When serving, top each piece with more Cool Whip.

Made this pie with my niece and nephew today. It was very easy to make. My niece loved the sprinkles at the end. It was a perfect combo of tart and sweetness.
