desserts | When the hot days of summer become unbearable, chill out with this frozen margarita

pie. The pretzel crust offers the perfect salty contrast to the tart lime flavoring — just like the drink

but without all its POINTS.



Ingredients



2 1/3 oz pretzel(s), miniature twists (about 2 cups)

1 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp reduced-calorie margarine

6 oz frozen concentrate limeade, slightly thawed

4 cup(s) light vanilla ice cream

1 1/2 oz tequila, about 3 tbsp

1/2 oz orange-flavored liqueur, about 1 tbsp

1 tsp lime zest



Instructions



Preheat oven to 375°F. In a food processor or blender, crush pretzel twists until crumbs form. Add

sugar; pulse until combined. Add margarine and mix well. With machine running, add 2

tablespoons of the limeade concentrate, processing until well mixed.



Place mixture in an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. With back of spoon, press mixture firmly into

bottom and up sides of pan to form pie shell. Bake at 375°F until set, about 5 minutes. Place in

freezer for 10 minutes to cool.



Meanwhile, in a clean food processor or electric mixer, combine ice cream, remaining limeade

concentrate, tequila and liqueur; process or mix until just blended. Spoon into cooled pie shell and

sprinkle with lime zest. Freeze for 2 hours before cutting into 8 slices.
