I'll treat you right!

Life has been a little crazy and hectic around here lately, so I haven't been able to post. I really don't have the time right now, but I plan on posting soon. Please stay tuned for a full report on Kristen's visit, my confrontation with The Devil, a new job opportunity, and a late night visit from my bitch-tastic sister-in-law.

For now, please enjoy this recipe for the best summer treat you could possibly find. I didn't think to take a picture until I got to the last piece. But, oh, so delicious!

Chocolate-Berry Cream Pies

* 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened

* 1 can (11-1/2 ounces) frozen cranberry-raspberry juice concentrate, thawed

* 1 carton (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

* 3 chocolate crumb crusts (9 inches)

* 1 can (21 ounces) raspberry pie filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine ice cream and juice concentrate. Fold in 4 cups whipped topping. Spoon into crusts. Cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm.

Remove pies from the freezer 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with pie filling and remaining whipped topping.

Yield: 3 pies (8 servings each).
