STRAWBERRY ICEBOX PIE


Springtime is here, and Summer is right around the corner. Everyone is ready for light, cool and refreshing recipes. This one comes from my Mom. She found this recipe a few years ago, and we changed it up a bit to fit our taste buds. The original recipe was a bit tart for me, and Mom and I didn't think it had enough strawberries, so I am giving you the original recipe, and putting our adjustments at the bottom. You choose, everyone's taste buds are different! Hope you enjoy!
Strawberry Icebox Pie:
1 12oz container Cool Whip (if you can't find this size, just use 1 8oz, and half of another!)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 16oz container of frozen sweetened, sliced strawberries, well drained
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup chopped pecans, optional
2 6oz graham cracker pie crusts
Combine milk, and lemon juice. Fold in Cool Whip, strawberries and pecans. Pour into crusts and chill until ready to serve.
**For a less tart pie, use 1/3 cup lemon juice.
**I use 2 16oz containers of strawberries to give more strawberry flavor!
