Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting the Cool Whip with a homemade whipped cream using heavy cream and a bit of sugar. If you're looking for a twist, try using limeade instead of lemonade for a zesty flavor. Ensure the lemonade is fully defrosted to blend well with the sweetened condensed milk. For easy cleanup, use a disposable pie shell.
