MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Process the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and tequila, and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, limeade, tequila, lime juice, liqueur and salt in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Beat the cream with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to low, and drizzle in the condensed milk mixture. Return the mixer to medium-high, and beat until the mixture is completely incorporated and fluffy, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl if necessary. Transfer the filling to the cooled crust, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Transfer the pie to the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges dipped in salt, and serve.

SANDIA LOCA

Steps:

• Cut a small slice from the base of the watermelon to stabilize it, and then cut the watermelon in half horizontally. Cut 4 stars from the top half of the watermelon, and then save the remaining watermelon for another use.
• Cut the flesh of the pineapple into 4 stars. Cut the remaining flesh into 1-inch cubes.
• In the base watermelon, score 2 lines down the center of the flesh lengthwise, creating a central strip of watermelon. Scoop out the watermelon flesh on either side of the strip with a large spoon and cut into large chunks.
• For the fruit skewers: Thread 4 strawberries on a 6-inch wooden skewer and the remaining 4 strawberries on another 6-inch skewer. Thread each watermelon star on a 6-inch skewer. Thread each pineapple star on a 6-inch skewer.
• Put the watermelon chunks, pineapple chunks, mango slices and jicama batons in a large bowl. Add the chamoy, tajin, lemon juice and hot sauce and toss to combine. Pour the fruit into the cavities of the watermelon. Then decorate with the star skewers and the tamarind candies. Sprinkle with more tajin over the top and serve.
