What could possibly hit the spot better on a blistering day than a delicious, tropical pie from the freezer? No need to heat up the kitchen to make a Paradise Pie. It’s so simple you might as well make two for a large gathering. This recipe is from Sidney Carlisle, a lady who knows her pies and her article on frozen pies.

Ingredients
-
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
-
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
-
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple, well drained
-
1/2 cup coconut
-
1/2 cup chopped pecans
-
1/2 8-ounce carton frozen whipped topping, thawed (use only half the carton)
-
1 9-inch graham cracker crust
Instructions
- Combine the milk and lemon juice in a bowl. Stir well. Add the drained pineapple, coconut and pecans, mixing well.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping. Pour into the crust. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
- Remove from the freezer about 20 minutes before serving. Cover any leftover pie loosely with foil or place inside a large freezer storage bag and return to the freezer.
