Pink Lemonade Ice Cream Pie

Incredibly easy to make and perfect for parties. If you like Pink this pie is for YOU!
Prep Time30 minutes
Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 1 pie

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of nilla wafers crushed
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 Litres just shy of 2 quarts if you're in the U.S. of vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
  • 2 cups or 16 ounces in the U.S. of whipped cream, I made homemade but you can use store bought, divided
  • 1 packet of crystal light pink lemonade 4.5 g
  • 1 to 2 cups of coconut to taste, I like more
  • 1 to 2 drops of red food colouring.

Instructions

  • Crush the nilla wafers in a food processor by pulsing until they resemble fine crumbs. Add the melted butter, pulse again.
  • Press into a pie plate.
  • In a stand mixer combine the ice cream, ½ of the whipped cream and crystal light packet. Whisk on high until well combined. If you want it to be a darker pink you can add some food colouring. Pour into the pie plate and smooth out. Place in the freezer for about 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Pull out the pie about 10 minutes before serving and top with the remaining ½ of the whipped cream. If desired top with the pink coconut.
  • Pink Coconut Optional topping:
  • You can make the coconut pink fairly easily. Start with a small amount of coconut on a glass bowl. Add 1 drop of food colouring and mix thoroughly, then add more coconut until you get the colour you want to achieve. Toss over top of the pie just before serving.
  • Serve with a big old pretty in pink smile!
