Tropical Margarita Freeze Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix pretzels and sugar together in a bowl; stir in margarine until evenly incorporated. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch pie plate; press into bottom and up sides of plate to form a firm, even crust.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• Mix sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl.
• Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into sweetened condensed milk mixture. Spoon filling into cooled crust.
• Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving; garnish with lime slices.

Steps:

• Mix together the blended pretzel (salt and all) with the melted butter and sugar, and pat into a large pie crust dish, or a number (8 or so) of smaller individual dishes. The crust should be about ¼ inch thick. Let set by allowing to freeze for about two hours.
• After the crust has hardened, whip the whipping cream until very firm, and then fold in all other ingredients until well blended (stirring gently, as you don't want to reduce the volume of the whipped cream too much!).
• When a homogeneous mixture, pour into the waiting frozen pie crust, and place back into the freezer to set for a few hours before serving.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let cool slightly.
• Crumble graham crackers into a food processor. Add melted butter, sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt and process until mixture resembles wet sand. Transfer mixture to a shallow 9"-diameter pie dish. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press crust firmly and evenly across bottom and up sides of dish. Freeze 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Finely grate zest from 1 lime half into a small bowl; set aside. Squeeze juice from all of the limes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a glass measuring cup (you should have about 1/2 cup juice).
• Pour lime juice into another medium bowl. Add condensed milk, tequila, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and whisk until mixture is smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped cream just to combine, then add the remaining whipped cream and gently fold until no streaks remain (be careful not to overmix; you want to keep as much air in the whipped cream as possible).
• Remove pie dish from the freezer and scrape filling into crust. Use a spoon to gently spread filling evenly all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with reserved lime zest and freeze until filling is set, at least 8 hours.
• Do Ahead: Pie can be made 3 days ahead. Cover; keep chilled. Let soften in fridge 30 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Spoon sorbet over crust, spread evenly with metal spatula. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• In a food processor or blender, puree strawberries with sugar and margarita mix (and optional tequila). Pour into a large bowl and fold in whipped topping. Carefully pour into over sherbet.
• Place mango slices in a star pattern on top of strawberry mixture and gently press to make horizontally even. Place the remaining strawberry in the center. Freeze at least 4 hours until firm.
• PARFAIT VARIATION: Use graham cracker crumbs or vanilla wafers and place them amongst 8 freezer-proof margarita glasses. scoop in some sherbet, then the strawberry topping, Finally, garnish with a mango slice and 1/2 of a fresh strawberry. Freeze for 1 hour or till needed. (NOTE: be sure the glasses are safe for freezing).
