Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
10 graham crackers
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
4 limes, halved
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
3 Tbsp. tequila blanco

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
  • Crumble graham crackers into a food processor. Add melted butter, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer mixture to a shallow 9"-diameter pie dish. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press crust firmly and evenly across bottom and up sides of dish. Freeze 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
  • Finely grate zest from 1 lime half into a small bowl; set aside. Squeeze juice from all of the limes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a glass measuring cup (you should have about 1/2 cup juice).
  • Pour lime juice into another medium bowl. Add condensed milk, tequila, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and whisk until mixture is smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped cream just to combine, then add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold until no streaks remain (be careful not to overmix; you want to keep as much air in the whipped cream as possible).
  • Remove pie dish from the freezer and scrape filling into crust. Use a spoon to gently spread filling evenly all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with reserved lime zest and freeze until filling is set, at least 8 hours.
  • Do Ahead: Pie can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled. Let soften in fridge 30 minutes before slicing.

Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup finely crushed pretzels
¼ cup white sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
⅓ cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon orange liqueur
3 drops green food coloring, or as needed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 lime, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix pretzels and sugar together in a bowl; stir in margarine until evenly incorporated. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch pie plate; press into bottom and up sides of plate to form a firm, even crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Mix sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl.
  • Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into sweetened condensed milk mixture. Spoon filling into cooled crust.
  • Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving; garnish with lime slices.

Time 7h50m

Yield one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 12

14 graham cracker sheets (2 sleeves)
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon tequila
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup defrosted limeade concentrate
1/4 cup tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Triple Sec
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for garnish
1 cup heavy cream
Eight 1/2-inch lime wedges (from 1 or 2 limes)

Steps:

  • For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Process the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and tequila, and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, limeade, tequila, lime juice, liqueur and salt in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Beat the cream with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to low, and drizzle in the condensed milk mixture. Return the mixer to medium-high, and beat until the mixture is completely incorporated and fluffy, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl if necessary. Transfer the filling to the cooled crust, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Transfer the pie to the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges dipped in salt, and serve.

FROZEN MARGARITA PIE



Frozen Margarita Pie image

If you want to wow your guests at your next Mexican fiesta, make this dessert. Period. This lime confection is a cross between an ice cream and a pie, and the pretzel crust adds just the right amount of saltiness to make it fun and totally unforgettable.

Yield serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups whole grain pretzel sticks
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup light agave nectar
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated skim milk
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1/2 cup light agave nectar
Freshly grated zest of 1 lime
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 large limes)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 orange)
2 tablespoons good quality, preferably aged, tequila
1 tablespoon Cointreau or Triple Sec
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
Agave Nectar Whipped Cream (page 113)
Lime slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie pan with canola oil spray.
  • To prepare the crust, grind the pretzels to a fine meal in a food processor. Add the butter and agave nectar and pulse to combine. Press into the prepared pie pan to form the crust. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the edges turn slightly golden. Cool before filling.
  • To make the filling, first prepare an ice water bath. Then make a slurry by mixing 2 tablespoons of the evaporated skim milk and the arrowroot powder together. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining evaporated milk and the agave nectar until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Whisk the arrowroot slurry into the saucepan. Stirring constantly, let the mixture thicken slightly. Remove from the heat and place the saucepan in the ice water bath to cool down quickly, whisking often.
  • Pour the cooled filling mixture into a large bowl and add the lime zest, lime juice, orange juice, tequila, Cointreau, and vanilla extract. Whisk together well. Place in the refrigerator to cool about 30 minutes, or until semifirm.
  • Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cooled lime mixture. Spoon the filling into the pie crust and freeze for about 4 hours, or until firm. To serve, let the pie defrost for about 10 minutes before slicing. Top the pie with lots of whipped cream and garnish with lime slices.

Time 2h20m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups pretzels, blended fine
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1/2 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons triple sec
the zest from one lime
1 (14 ounce) can , sweetened condensed mil
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Mix together the blended pretzel (salt and all) with the melted butter and sugar, and pat into a large pie crust dish, or a number (8 or so) of smaller individual dishes. The crust should be about ¼ inch thick. Let set by allowing to freeze for about two hours.
  • After the crust has hardened, whip the whipping cream until very firm, and then fold in all other ingredients until well blended (stirring gently, as you don't want to reduce the volume of the whipped cream too much!).
  • When a homogeneous mixture, pour into the waiting frozen pie crust, and place back into the freezer to set for a few hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Utilize a quality tequila: A good-quality tequila will make a significant difference in the flavor of your pie. Look for a reposado or añejo tequila that has been aged for at least six months.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making the pie will help it set properly. This is especially important for the cream cheese and whipped cream.
  • Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling can make it dense and rubbery. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath: Baking the pie in a water bath helps to prevent the edges from overcooking while the center sets.
  • Chill the pie before serving: The pie needs to chill for at least four hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.

Conclusion:

This frosty margarita pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your guests. The combination of tart lime, sweet tequila, and creamy filling is irresistible. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and delicious dessert, give this frosty margarita pie a try.
