This classic recipe is one of a kind, and I can’t figure out why I’ve never made it before.  But wow~  it was so worth the wait!

AND you just know, I HAD to jazz it  up an itty bitty smidgen, because well..it’s me.  So all  I did was sparkle up the crust as I would the rim of a nice, cold glass of Lemonade..with some Lemony zested sparkle sugar.  It not only made this pie gorgeous, but it added a surprisingly delicious pop of extra flavor!

Cool, creamy, sweet, and so refreshing, this pie will definitely cool you down on the hottest of summer days, or warm your heart on the chilliest of winter days!

I highly suggest it, and you’ll laugh out loud when you see just how easy it is..I think making a fresh glass of Lemonade might actually be more difficult..haha!  🙂

What you’ll need: 

1 pillsbury refrigerated  pie crust…or you can make your own

1-14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

1-12 oz. can of frozen pink lemonade concentrate..semi frozen!!

1-16 oz. container of cool whip..defrosted

1/2 cup of sanding/sparkle sugar in white with the zest of one lemon..optional!

a 9″ pie plate

Directions:

First you will need to blind bake the crust, I do this with some designated beans and a piece of parchment paper.  Place the crust into the pie plate, cover the bottom of the crust with the parchment paper, and then enough dry beans to cover the bottom.  Bake it at 350 degrees for approx. 12 minutes, or just until the crust is fully cooked.  

I DID THIS OPTIONAL STEP BEFORE blind baking the crust:

Zest one lemon into some decorative sugar, mix it up…

Then gently press it onto the entire edge of the pie crust, it’s just so pretty and actually adds a great flavor, but not necessary for a great pie!

In a large bowl combine the sweetened condensed milk with the cool whip, and with a large spoon, gently mix it up.  Now fold in the pink lemonade concentrate…

Pour it into your pie shell…I like to keep a few pink swirls throughout the pie, but that’s just me…lol  Also~ fill that pie shell as high as you can without it spilling over..it makes for a prettier finished product!

Now into the freezer for 4 hours to overnight.

Let the pie sit for a few minutes before slicing it with a warm knife.  (Dip your knife into some warm water and them wipe it off…MAGIC)

Serve it up on a super hot day for the ultimate, tastiest cool down EVER…

Be sure to share with family and friends..they get hot too.!  🙂

And do NOT forget about your hot little self either…you did all the work!

Dig in!  ~Enjoy! 🙂

Here I go again, and this time I almost feel dirty, corrupt and just plain wrong!  Taking an innocent childhood favorite like the Fudgsicle, and boozing it up with, well…booze, somehow seems beautifully wrong!  On the bright side, you’ll feel totally fine with it, as soon as you indulge in your first shot..lol!

Sooo, ..put those kids to bed early and let’s get our Bourbon filled Fudgsicle Shots on!

These little shots are the perfect size to top off any meal, the perfect little way to end the night..especially when it’s SO hot outside and we’ve spent the entire day sweating!!  Right? …RIGHT!

Let’s DO this!  ~Cheers!

What you’ll need: 

Shot glasses~  I found these adorable ones at World Market..you can check them out here >> ADORABLE SHOT GLASSES!

Popsicle Sticks

1 small box of Chocolate  JELL-O Instant Pudding

1/2 cup of Bourbon (replacing some of the Milk for the Pudding!

Chocolate Syrup

Directions:

In a medium bowl prepare the Pudding according to the package instructions, but replace 1/2 cup of the Milk with Bourbon!

Pour a drizzle of Chocolate Sauce down into the bottom of each shot glass…

Now pour in the Pudding.  Place a stick into the center and secure it with some plastic wrap…

Then into the freezer they go~  A few hours, or over night for a maximum freeze!

Let them sit out for a few minutes and they will come right out!

When life hands you 105 degree weather, even the lemons are sweaty & cranky!  But you can still make Lemonade..yes you can!  You just have to get creative!  And creativity that includes Watermelon is the best tasting creation ever!  Especially when it’s paired with fresh mint!  Somehow mint automatically cools off anything it touches!  I totally thought about rubbing it all over me, but I may have decided against it!  🙂

These minty Watermelon ice cubes are so much fun!  As they melt, the mint leaf slowly reveals itself and  infuses the drink with tons of refreshing mint flavor!  Such a great way to help get you through this blistering summer.  Heck, you can even just pop a couple in your mouth for an instant cool down!  They’re so simple, refreshing & delicious!  🙂

This Lemonade is incredible, but these ice cube beauties can also take a tall glass of Iced Tea to a whole new level of yum!  Or plunge a few into a bubbly Wine Spritzer..mmm!  🙂

What you’ll need for approx. 2 frosty glasses of instant heat relief:

About 3 cups of cut up seedless watermelon

Lemonade

Fresh mint

An ice cube tray

A strainer

A food processor

3 tbsp. of honey/agave

Green sparkle sugar

Directions:

Cut up the Watermelon into chunks and blend them up in a food processor until smooth.

Strain out all of the pulp..optional!

Add a single mint leaf to the bottom of each ice cube well.

Pour the Watermelon juice into each section up to the top!

Cover them up & freeze them!

Rim your glasses with some sweet and pretty sugar!  Just dip the glass rim into the honey and then into the sugar..Tah-Dah!  🙂

Pop them out!  Say “Awww”…and then add them to your super cute glass!

Take a frosty sip and feel the instant sweet & refreshing cool down! ~Enjoy!  🙂
