Margarita Pie With Pretzel Crust
- 1-1/2 cup Finely Chopped Pretzels
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 stick Butter, Melted
- 1/2 cups Fresh Lime Juice
- 1 can (14oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Gold Tequila
- 2 Tablespoons Triple Sec
- 2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream, Whipped
- 5 drops Green Food Coloring (optional)
- For the crust, pulse the pretzels and sugar in a food processor several times to combine. Add butter in a steady stream and process until well mixed. Press over the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the pie, combine the lime juice, condensed milk, tequila and triple sec in a bowl and mix well. Fold in the whipped cream. Tint with green food coloring if you desire a deeper color. Spoon into the crust. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for four hours or up to one week. Garnish with additional whipped cream and lime slices.
- Note: do not use fat-free or low-fat pretzels in the crust or the crust will not hold together when cutting. You may substitute graham crackers for the pretzels, but it's just not the same.
