Hi Lorijean! For dessert, Lemon Ice Cream Surprise is delicious and refreshing. Here's the recipe:

(I wanted a stronger lemon taste, so I added much more lemonade (about 4 oz/1/2 cup more). This, of course, made the ice cream a lot thinner than it was supposed to be, but it still came out great).

LEMON ICE CREAM SURPRISE

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup margarine, melted (I used unsalted butter)
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
1 (6.00 ounces) can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed (one person used frozen orange juice)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted margarine (or butter).
2. Spread evenly in the bottom of your dish. (Poster uses an 8" square glass baking dish - I used an 8" square metal pan).
3. Thoroughly mix together vanilla ice cream with lemonade concentrate.
4. Pour ice cream mixture onto prepared crust.
5. Freeze at least 4 hours before serving. (I recommend covering the pan and freezing overnight).

Try the Frog's Eye Salad in T&T for dessert, it's great and feeds a crowd.

I made it for 4th of July party last weekend. Boiled the pasta and added the juice the night before. Made for easy prep the next day. Everyone loved it.

lorijean - I highly recommend my recipe for "Angel Cream Melba," easy to put together, delicious,

and feeds a crowd.

You can serve any sauce such as Blueberry, Strawberry, Mango, etc.

Here is a link to the recipe here at Finer Kitchens.
