40 minThis lime margarita pie with pretzel crust captures everything you love about the cocktail in frozen, sliceable form.
Crushed pretzels mixed with butter and sugar create a salty-sweet crust that complements the tart, boozy filling better than any graham cracker base could dream of.
Sweetened condensed milk binds tequila, triple sec, and lime juice into a creamy filling that tastes like vacation, while whipped topping keeps everything light and fluffy.
Freeze for 4 to 5 hours, then let it soften for 20 minutes before slicing into this adults-only frozen treat.
Pro Tips
- Press that crust firmly: Really pack those pretzel crumbs into the pan so the crust holds together when you slice.
- Freeze the crust first: A solid crust prevents the filling from seeping through and making things soggy.
- Softening time is crucial: Twenty minutes at room temperature transforms this from rock-hard to perfectly sliceable.
