Lemonade Cheesecake Pie

Strawberries were on sale at the grocery store last week. I love strawberries... LOVE THEM. Like I could eat them all day - LOVE THEM. And I remembered spotting this recipe in my Kraft Foods Food and Family cooking magazine when it came a week ago. And I knew all the ingredients from memory!!

This pie is easy. Summery. Delicious. Has only 6 ingredients (Cool Whip, cream cheese, frozen lemonade, sugar, strawberries and a graham cracker crust). Healthyish (I used 1/3 the fat cream cheese and Cool Whip Lite). And if I do say myself, even mine turned out looking beautiful.

*Both of these pictures are mine, but it didn't look this beautiful after cutting into it. We didn't have the 4 hours of time in which to refrigerate it until it set, so ours was a creamy pile on our plates. It does need the full refrigeration time, and I might even stick it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes before cutting to give it a nice, clean cut. And I almost forgot, it was almost too lemony... so I might use a little less lemonade concentrate next time I make it.
