Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider folding in mascarpone cheese or Greek yogurt along with the Cool Whip. If you're out of lemon juice, a splash of lime juice can work as a suitable substitute. Use fresh fruit for the best flavor, but frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained. This pie pairs beautifully with Aunt Effie'S Chocolate Gravy for a decadent dessert experience.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with additional Cool Whip or whipped cream for extra sweetness. It pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. For a festive touch, garnish with mint leaves or sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top. This pie is perfect for summer gatherings or as a light dessert after a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the pie becomes too soft, you can chill it for an hour before serving to help it firm up. Avoid freezing the pie as the texture may change, particularly with the Cool Whip and fresh fruit.
