Pie Crust
- ¾ cup finely crushed salted pretzels
- ½ cup finely crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Pie Filling
- 1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ cup defrosted limeade concentrate
- 2 tablespoons tequila
- 2 tablespoons Triple Sec
- 1 cup whipping cream whipped to soft peaks
- Zest from 1 lime
Stir the Pie Crust ingredients together until well moistened. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate or springform baking pan, and press down lightly to stick the crumbs together. Slide into the refrigerator.
Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, and Triple Sec in a large bowl. Whip the whipping cream to soft peaks. Fold the whipped cream into the milk mixture. This is easier if you first fold in only ⅓ of the whipped cream, and then fold in the rest. Pour into the chilled Pie Crust, and smooth with a knife. Cover and slide into the freezer overnight.
When ready to serve, sprinkle lime zest over the top, and sit on the counter for 10 minutes before slicing. Completely clean the knife between each slice to get a clean cut or use dental floss to cut the pie filling and finish with a sharp knife.
The pretzels and graham crackers should be crushed until fairly fine. The best way to accomplish this is by using a food processor fitted with a metal blade, or a high-powered blender.
It's best to freeze this no-bake pie overnight before serving, but it will be fairly well set up after 6 - 7 hours.
