Margarita Pie

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pretzels, finely crushed

cups sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

zest of 1 lime

1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed

2 tablespoons gold tequila

2 tablespoons Triple sec

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

12 pretzels, for garnish

12 mint leaves, for garnish

In a medium bowl place the crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter. Mix the ingredients together well and press them into a 9" buttered pie pan.

Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

In another medium bowl place the lime zest, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, tequila, and triple sec. Mix the ingredients together.

Fold in the 1 cup of heavy cream, whipped, and the green food coloring.

Pour the mixture into the pie crust. Freeze the pie for 4 hours.

Decorate the pie with the 1/2 cup of whipped cream, pretzels, and mint leaves.

Nibble on this instead of sponge cake the next time you're looking for your lost shaker of salt.
