Margarita Pie

On Sunday we decided to drive up and surprise Joe's dad for Father's Day. We found out they had reservations at Woody's on the Water in Tacoma at 1:30, so we called Joe's uncle and had him add 2 to the reservation. I think he was tickled to see us---and surprised, too! It was fun!

After lunch we went to Joe's grandma and grandpa's house for dessert. Grandma Poppy had a Margarita Pie and it was so delicious! Light and refreshing, perfect for summer. Here's the recipe...

Margarita Pie

Crust

1/2 cup pretzels, crushed

1/2 cup graham crackers, finely crushed

1/4 cup white sugar

1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling

1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1/3 cup limeade concentrate, thawed

2 tablespoons Tequila

1 tablespoon orange liqueur

1 cup heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375. To make the pretzel crust, combine crushed pretzels, graham crackers, sugar and melted butter. Once the mixture is combined, spread mixture evenly into a 9-inch pan. Press the mixture on bottom and sides to form an even crust. Bake for 5 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. Let shell cool until needed.

For filling, use a large mixing bowl and combine sweetened condensed milk, limeade, tequila and orange liqueur until all ingredients are well mixed. In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into lime and tequila mixture. Spoon the mixture into the pie shell, cover and freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Let pie stand for 10 minutes before serving, slice and garnish with lime slices.
