Frozen Margarita Pie

Crust
3 cups (4 oz) thin salted pretzel sticks
6 TBL sugar
1 1/4 stick butter (about 10 TBL)

Filling
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 TBL freshly grated lime peel
3 TBL fresh lime juice
2 1/2 TBL Tequila
1 tsp orange extract
4 drops green and 2 drops yellow food color
2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • Lightly coat 9" pie plate with Pam or other unflavored spray.
  • CRUST: Pretzels and sugar in food processor until crumbs, I like the crumb to have some recognize able pretzel pieces and not completely pulverized like bread crumbs. Add butter and blend. Press mixture into bottom and side of the pie pan. Freeze.
  • FILLING: Stir together condensed milk, lime juice/peel, Tequila, extract and food color. Beat cream in large bowl until soft peaks are formed. Fold the two mixtures together, very gently, until completely blended. Put into crust and freeze overnight -- freeze unwrapped.
  • Wrap well and keep in freezer until a few minutes before serving. Garnish with pretzels, grated lime peel or lime slice.
