How to Make Margarita Pie
- **Make the Pretzel Crust:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Crush 1 ½ cups pretzel crackers into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs with ¼ cup granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
- **Press into Pie Plate:** Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- **Cool the Crust:** Remove from oven and let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
- **Prepare the Filling:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, ½ cup limeade concentrate (from frozen concentrate, thawed), ¼ cup tequila, 2 tablespoons orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec), and a few drops of green food coloring (optional).
- **Whip the Cream:** In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- **Combine and Freeze:** Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture. Pour the filling into the cooled pretzel crust. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- **Serve:** Let the pie stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
