three dolla pie

I keep forgetting to do this. But, in response to popular outcry, here is the recipe for Three Dolla Pie:

>In a medium bowl, beat together

>> 1 tbsp lemon zest (1 lemon’s worth)

>> 1/2 C lemon juice (2 lemons’ worth)

>> 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

>> 2 or 3 drops yellow food coloring

>…until it is consistent, and thickens just a touch.

>first fold, then beat in

>> 1 8-oz tub Cool Whip, thawed

>…and mound the results in the center of

>> 1 12-in. graham cracker pie crust

>…and freeze at least 1 hour, preferably more.

>Remove from the freezer, cut with a wet knife and serve immediately.

If you wanted to be all fancy or something, you could, like, garnish with strips of lemon peel and a sprig of mint. But you’re just going to eat it immediately anyway, so what’s the point.

I really wanted to have some pictures to go along with this, but I haven’t had occasion to make a Three Dolla Pie since I was asked to post this. Perhaps I will visually document an expirimental pie construction; I have in mind Three Dolla Pie Lite and also Three Dolla Chocolate Pie.

Mmmm. Pie.
