NO-BAKE FROZEN MARGARITA PIE

If you know me than you know one of my all time favorite cocktails is a classic margarita! Whether I’m on vacation, out to dinner, or at home if there’s margaritas count me in! This pie will have you thinking you’re on the beach with a cocktail! It’s zesty & refreshing, and since the crust is not your typical graham cracker crust and it’s made with salted pretzel snaps instead, it’s the perfect sweet & salty balance!  

Ingredients:

The Crust:

• 5 oz salted pretzel snaps (finely crushed in food processor)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 10 tbsp butter (salted or unsalted works!)

Pie Filling:

• 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1 tbsp lime zest plus more for garnish 
• 2 tbsp tequila 
• 1 1/2 triple sec 
• 2 cups heavy cream 
• NOTE: you can add more tequila & triple sec depending if you want the pie to taste a bit stronger!

Directions:

1. Measure out your pretzels & finely crush them in your food processor 
2. Add them in a bowl with sugar and melted butter; stir well to combine 
3. Place pretzel mixture into your pie dish and press into the bottom and up the sides; set aside 
4. In a bowl combine sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, tequila & triple sec; stir well and set aside 
5. In another bowl add your heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form 
6. Add your whipped cream into your sweetened condensed milk mixture & stir well
7. Pour your filling into your pie crust and freeze for at least 4 hours; when you’re ready to serve let your pie defrost for 10-20 min! NOTE: freeze & thaw time may vary depending on how cold your freezer is!
