Key Lime Margarita Pie

photo by:kraft

While there’s no alcohol in this creamy frozen dessert, it sure tastes real. The hint of salt comes from the pretzel crust, while the citrus zip is in the creamy filling.

Yummy! Instead of making it with the pie crust, I used ready-made tart shells and it turn out great!

Fabulous! My husband and I love it! We have made two alternates of it for variance. One with Lemonade Kool-aid and lemon juice and one with Orange Kool-aid and orange juice. Everything about the recipe is delicious, fun and easy. I use a few of the crumbs from the pan after serving to sprinkle on top of the whipped cream to make it look 'professional'. :) Will continue to make this pie!

Doubled it and put it in a 9 X 13 pan. I took it to work and everyone loved it. I am not really a cook so this made me very happy. I am going to bring it to our pot lucks at work all the time now.
