1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter
Mix the crumbs, sugar, and butter in a nine inch pie pan or spring form pan. Mix until the crumbs have absorbed the butter and the mixture is uniform.
Press the crumbs across the bottom of the pan and up the sides. We've found using a drinking glass to press the crumbs up the sides works well.
Bake for eight to ten minutes at 350 degrees.

1 8-ounce packet of cream cheese, softened
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup pink lemonade concentrate (not mixed with water)

Using the whip attachment and your stand-type mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, mix the cream cheese until softened.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk very slowly while mixing to avoid clumps, scraping the bowl as you go.
Slowly add the lemonade concentrate and lemon juice and continue beating. Color with red food coloring as desired.
Pour the mixture into the pie shell or springform pan and place it in the freezer while you mix the topping.
