Hello sweet friends,

When looking for a taste of sweet nostalgia, there is no better drink option than the Shirley Temple.  The simple mixture of grenadine and 7UP, takes me right back to dinners out with my “Nana and Gigi” and pool side shenanigans in the summer.  So I got to thinking… Why not take this beloved throw-back beverage and give it a modern-day twist? Behold! Introducing, the Shirley Temple Pie.

Cherry flavors and 7UP are combined with whipped topping, and fluffed into dreamy perfection in this retro-inspired recipe.  Poured atop a crunchy homemade graham cracker crust and finished with more whipped cream, this pie is the ultimate springtime dessert with a cherry on top!

Cheers,

Emily
