Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

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.
Step 3

Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
Step 4

Mix sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl.
Step 5

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.
Step 6

Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving; garnish with lime slices.

This was good. Pretty easy to make and nice taste. Was a hit at a potluck and the first dessert to be gone. I used gluten free pretzels for the crust and did not add the food coloring. Read More

I used this recipe to make a strawberry daquiri. I replaced the two alcohols with three tbl of rum and the limeade with thawed frozen strawberry daquiri concentrate. It was loved by all just remember two things. The maker gets to lick the bowl and dont serve to underage children Read More

It was all I could do not to eat the whole pie myself! I omitted the tequila and food coloring and used a ready made graham cracker crust. Read More

Delicious and easy! This was a big hit at a recent BBQ. It is definitely going in my dessert rotation. Recipe is perfect as written, no changes. If I have a bigger crowd next time I will double the recipe and make it in a 13 x 9 pan. Read More

This was a tasty pie...however I wanted it to be a little thicker. It was refrigerated over night and it was still soft. Tasted very similar to keylime pie... Read More

This came out very well. I've made a similar recipe with Ritz cracker crust (no sugar), lemonade concentrate (whole can) and Cool Whip (whole thing of it I think) that I also remember liking, for those of you who are wondering if this would work with Cool Whip. I made this as directed but as usual my whipped cream didn't whip at the bottom of the dish (I don't know why I have that issue) so it wound up having a non-fluffy layer of rather icy stuff in the bottom of the pie which tasted fine but it really is better if you are able to whip it completely. I enjoyed the lime flavoring on this one, or maybe it was the tequila. Either way, great recipe, thanks! Read More

Fabulous. Spray pan before putting pretzel crust in it - tough to get out of the pan. Read More
