This is such a perfect summer dessert, and SO easy, too!! I made it as a strawberry lemonade pie, as my DH loves strawberries; I used 2 teaspoons Crystal Light (sugar-free) lemonade mix (same amount of water), light vanilla frozen yogurt (2 cups, which I think is a pint!), Cool Whip Free, and a Keebler reduced fat graham cracker crust (I couldn't find the larger size, but the regular one worked fine — I just piled it on!). Then I sliced some strawberries into a bowl and crushed a few soft ones and sprinkled on a tiny bit of Crystal Light lemonade mix and stirred, then topped the pie slices with it. It was SO good!! And it reminded me a little of cheesecake, which I love. I recommend the strawberry topping if you like strawberries, as it added great color and flavor. The way I made it, I figure it as 4 Weight Watcher points (about 200 calories) per serving, for 8 servings. Thank you, Merlot!!!

I found this recipe in the new Kraft Food and Family Magazine and was going to post it, but I found you had already done so. Thank you Merlot. This is a great, and very tasty summer pie. I like that you can always have the ingredients on hand. I used lite ice cream and cool whip to cut calories. Yummy.

Light and refreshing! I used a reduced fat graham crust and light cool whip and still had a tasty treat!

I tried this recipe because it sounded so easy, almost foolproof, and it turned out great. It was very refreshing and not too heavy and disappeared quickly. Thanks-Joan

Such an easy and delicious pie! We really liked the light texture and delicate taste of lemon. I think one could add more of the lemonade mix for more intense lemon flavor. I used a mild chocolate graham cracker crust (not the dark chocolate one) and topped with shavings of Hershey bar. The pie looked lovely! I am now wondering if this would work with the fruit flavored lemonade mixes? Thanks Merlot, for such a nice dessert recipe!

What a great tasting, refreshing dessert this is. It was heavenly. Everyone enjoyed it. I used a chocolate cookie crumb crust, lite cool whip and sugar free country time. It was SOOOOO good. No one had any idea it was sort of low cal. Thanks Merlot

I love this — and idea behind it. I'm sure you could use other flavors and still come up with a very refreshing and easy to throw together dessert! I had Crystal Light lemonade powder and used it. BUT I think I should have cut back to probably about half of the 1/3 cup. It's VERY lemony!! I used no sugar added vanilla ice cream and the lite Cool Whip. I loved reading the other reviews — and have picked up some good ideas from those chefs. Thank you, Merlot, this is a fantastic recipe.
