Strawberry-Mango Margarita Dessert (Virgin) image

This recipe I got from Pillsbury Spring Get-togethers April/May 07 book. This is a very tasty dessert and it makes a beautiful presentation. It's nice to take to a potluck or party. The original recipe calls for crushed pretzels for the crust. After making and tasting the pretzels got a bit soggy. I felt it would taste better with a graham cracker crust. However, I have not tried the graham cracker crust yet. Either way I hope you enjoy!

This dessert is a bit too messy to eat. I think I'll try making it in individual glasses next time.

I'm not a big fan of lime, so I used lemon juice instead. It was still really good.

I'm allergic to mangoes, so I substituted pineapple instead. It turned out just as delicious!

This dessert is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I always have extra strawberries and mangoes in the summer, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dessert didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dessert is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made this dessert last night and it turned out great! The only thing I changed was using frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones. It was still delicious.
