Servings: 8 pieces
Calories: 587kcal
Ingredients
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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
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.
