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.

• 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).

KEY LIME MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• 1. Pour about 2 cups (or more!) of small pretzel twists into the bag liner of a cereal box or a resealable bag.
• 2. Fold over the top edge of the bag so the crumbs won't escape, and crush pretzels to get 1-1/4 cups of rather finely crushed pieces. You might have to repeat this step using more pretzels, to get the 1-1/4 cups of crumbs. You can do this part in your food processor or with a food chopper, too.
• 3. For the crust: Combine all crust ingredients in a medium bowl; toss well with a fork to combine all the butter with the crumbs.
• 4. Press onto bottom and up the sides of a 9" pie plate. Set aside (I put mine in the refrigerator for several minutes, while I prepare the ingredients for the filling).
• 5. Remember, the 'zest' is only the green outer layer of the lime skin... not the white, pithy part underneath the skin. Don't go too deep! Before zesting the lime, cut some tiny lime curls to use as a garnish on top of the pie later. Using a zester, or the small teeth on your box grater, zest the limes, to get 3 teaspoons. Set aside 2 tsp for the filling and leave 1 tsp out to use for garnish later.
• 6. Using the same limes, prick holes in each with a fork. Set them in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Roll them gently on the countertop, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into a 1/4-cup measuring cup. Microwaving them will make them yield much more juice! Set juice aside.
• 7. Pour 1/4-cup of orange juice; set aside.
• 8. For the filling: combine milk, lime zest, and juices in a medium bowl. Stir well with a whisk to combine while pouring.
• 9. GENTLY fold in the whipped topping; folding to combine them thoroughly.
• 10. Spoon into crust. Garnish with your lime curls and a few small pinches of extra lime zest sprinkled on top.
• 11. Refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 30 minutes. Serves 8.
