The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Tasty Freezer Pie!

After a two-week vacation (ok, not really, but I did get a new kitchen!), let the recipe blog continue!

I came back from North Carolina and walked into 80 degree heat and humidity.  It's certainly not my way to start off the growing season!  I simply wanted something to cool off.  Luckily, I had this pie in my freezer I had made when it was still cool out.

From Cooks.com:

Frosty Freezer Pie

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
7 oz. jar marshmallow creme
1 c. soft sherbet, lime, orange or raspberry (I found mixed berry at my grocery store)
2 c. Cool Whip
9 inch chocolate crumb crust
 
Combine cream cheese and marshmallow creme until well blended. Add sherbet and mix well. Fold in Cool Whip. Pour in crust and freeze until firm.

Family Rating: didn't get to taste it, but my co-workers did!
Stomach Factor: mild unless you are sensitive to chocolate (could use graham crackers instead)
Time Factor: very quick and it freezes up to 3 months
