Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 3 cups Sherbet (any flavor or mix of flavors, softened slightly)
- 1 cup Whipped topping (thawed, such as Cool Whip)
- Optional garnish: fresh fruit, sprinkles, or mint leaves
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the texture of wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to compact it. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, fold together the softened sherbet and whipped topping until well combined and smooth. Take care not to overmix, as you want to maintain the light and airy consistency.
Spoon the sherbet mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a neat finish.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, remove the pie from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
Optional: Garnish with fresh fruit, sprinkles, or mint leaves for an extra touch of color and flavor.
Slice and serve immediately. Store leftovers in the freezer, covered, for up to one week.
