I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice-cream! As a child I would here this saying all the time. Even today, every now and then I’ll hear someone saying this, and I will bet you do too. With the heat getting in the 90’s now this will be a welcomed sight. Just know that once you make this recipe, it is bound to become a family favorite. So have fun and enjoy making this wonderful, strawberry smoothie ice-cream pie.
