Bea's Notes:

This is such a refreshing pie and it's always a big hit. There is no baking or cooking involved, which is great to make during the summer months. You can whip it up literally within minutes.

I have been making this pie for over 40 years. I have no clue whatsoever where this recipe came from.

Directions

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Evenly divide between the two graham cracker pie shells and refrigerate several hours before cutting.

TIP: Wash and dry the plastic covers that come with the pie shells. Cover pies and store in fridge. You can actually use a 12 oz container of cool whip but no more than 12 ounces. I have actually done that when I didn't have the 8oz container on hand. You can always throw in a little coconut, too.

My sister makes a pie similar to this..so good. I think she adds a little coconut, too.

Thank you, Gail. I've never added coconut but will have to try that next time. Maybe I'll add that as an option.

Thanks, Diane. It's a nice pie to take to a reunion or church gathering.

Similar to one I've made, I too put coconut in it like Gail's sis does.
It's wonderful..try adding a bit to yours next time you make it.
I'm going to make yours w/o coconut.
