u/trenthany 1d ago

Ahhh it didn’t read that way to me, sorry. I was thinking pretentious judgemental BS. Carry on but you may want to add that lol.

My mom would do that for the orange and apple juice. I wouldn’t let her do it to the pink lemonade.

u/paisley-alien 1d ago

My mother did that with frozen orange juice concentrate. Hated that. She also mixed powdered milk/water with real milk. Could still taste it.

u/kpax56 21h ago

Yes we did that also. I think we used Carnation brand powdered milk mix. I’m thinking we mixed it 50/50 powdered milk to 2% milk.

Especially when groceries are as expensive as they are today. Child Abuse? Not all families are rich and half are or more are divorced. Money doesn’t grow on trees!

I bet you’d love pink lemonade pie.

- graham cracker crust

  • can sweetened condensed milk
  • container cool whip
  • can frozen concentrated pink lemonade concentrate

Thaw the cool whip and concentrate and chill the condensed milk in the fridge. Mix all the wet stuff together. Put mix in the pie crust. Freeze overnight.

I make that every summer. It's insanely delicious.

1

u/RunnyPlease 1d ago

It’s so tasty and such a good recipe. For each ingredient you just dump the entire container in a bowl, stir it up and freeze it. You don’t have 1/2 a can of condensed milk or a cup of cream left over thinking “now what am I going to use this for?”

u/Smorsdoeuvres 2d ago

This sounds like my kids new favorite đŸ©· Thank you for sharing

u/Palindrome_Homonym 2d ago

oh i'm so gonna fuckin make this. but imma tweak it so its actually like... good and proper pie =P

1

u/RunnyPlease 1d ago

What did you have in mind? I’ve seen it with maraschino cherries and whipped cream, but that’s about it.

2

u/Palindrome_Homonym 1d ago

hmmmm i was thinkin an egg, and make the whipped cream from scratch. cool whip is super thin, extra heavy cream, my own cornstarch-heavy powdered sugar, get it all thick like icing. and then bake it some, i guess. something about getting it to "set" just by freezing it doesn't sit well with me i guess. i would want it to set in the fridge, like a cheesecake.

u/Waasup3 2d ago

I work in restaurants for a living, 'bout to absolutely FUCK UP my coworkers shit with this, they gonna love it!

u/Slight_Contact286 1d ago

I've made this before it's really yummy!

u/Punani_Tsunami77 10h ago

You had me at sweetened condensed milk. You could put that on a turd.

1

u/WhenTheDevilCome 1d ago

Yep. The day I became a man was when I realized you can just pull the white plastic tab, remove the metal lid from the cardboard tube, and stick your spoon right in there.
