Limeade Pie (or lemonade or pink lemonade)

pink lemonade pie (made with extra food coloring until it was pink to Ada's liking)
Limeade pie.... yes, we all eat off our IKEA kids plates.
My mom always made this pie.  It's so so so easy, and it always hits the spot on a warm summer evening.  You can use limeade (it's my favorite) or pink lemonade or regular lemonade.  I usually make two different flavors at a time.  Since they are stored in the freezer, you can save one for another day or keep leftovers for a while.

Ingredients:

1/2 container (you know the regular size 48 oz our 1.5 qt) of vanilla ice cream softened  (it needs to be soft   enough to stir, but not melted)
1/2 of a frozen 12 oz limeade (or lemonade or pink lemonade juice mix), thawed
1 store bought graham cracker or shortbread crust
food coloring (optional)

Directions:

1.With a hand mixer, mix the ice cream, lemonade juice concentrate and a drop or two of food coloring (optional) until combined.
2. Poor mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. 
3.Cover and freeze for an hour or until ready to serve.
