Here's a delicious way to cool off. When it's hot outside, reach for frozen lemonade and vanilla ice cream — in a pie!

4 1/2 cups (1.125 L) CHEERIOS* cereal, finely crushed

1/3 cup (75 mL) butter, melted

2 tbsp (25 mL) sugar

1 qt (1 L) vanilla ice cream, softened

1/2 can (341 mL) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed

1 cup (250 mL) whipped cream, whipped

Red food colouring

Lemon or lime wedge, if desired

In small bowl, combine all crust ingredients; mix well. Press mixture in bottom and up side of 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Chill for 30 minutes before filling.
In large bowl, mix ice cream, lemonade concentrate, whipped cream and a few drops food colouring. Spoon and spread ice-cream mixture into crust.
Freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature a few minutes before cutting. Garnish with lime or lemon wedge if desired.
