Ingredients
CRUST
- 2 cups crushed pretzel crumbs I used gluten-free
- 1 stick butter melted
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
FILLING
- 16 oz. cream cheese
- ⅓ cup key lime juice I use Nellie & Joe's ad
- 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
- 3 strawberries diced
- ¼ cup Blue Agave Tequila
GARNISH
- 6 strawberries sliced
- 2 limes thinly sliced
- tiny mint leaves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- To make the crust, pulse pretzels in blender until crumbly.
- Add melted butter to pretzels and mix well.
- Pour pretzels in bottom of a pie plate or dish. Press firmly into the sides and bottom with your hands.
- Bake crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Take out of oven and cool completely.
- With a mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
- Add lime juice and beat until there are no lumps.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and strawberries. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in tequila.
- Pour filling into cooled crust and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Take pie out of freezer, let thaw for 10 minutes, then decorate with strawberries, limes and mint leaves.
Notes
- The tequila can be left out of the recipe if desired. You won't get the margarita flavor, but it will still taste like strawberry limeade, which is a good thing. :-)
- Gluten-free pretzels work well in this dish.
- Since this pie contains tequila, it's intended for adults age 21 and over.
