Sarasota's Easy Mojito Freeze
- 1 cup finely crushed pretzel
- 14 cup butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 23 cup sugar
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh mint, fine chopped
- 2 cups whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
- Pretzels -- I just crushed mine in a mini food processor, but using a baggie and a mallet or rolling pin works just as well.
- Just make sure to end up with a fine texture.
- Crust -- Use a 9" round pan for this recipe and line with plastic wrap.
- Then in a small bowl, mix the pretzel crumbs and butter.
- Press onto the bottom of the pan.
- I like to use the bottom of a glass to press the crust down good.
- Freeze until ready to use.
- Filling -- Beat the cream cheese, sugar, zest, juice and mint with a mixer until well blended.
- Then fold in 1 1/2 cups of the whipped topping.
- Spread it over the pretzel crust and use a spatula to smooth out the top.
- Freeze -- At least 4 hours.
- Serve -- The plastic wrap makes it easy to lift right out of the pan and slide on to a plate.
- Let it set 10-15 minutes to soften a little and then top with the remaining whipped topping in the center, a fresh lime slice and a sprig of mint for the perfect summertime dessert.
- ENJOY!
