Chill out on hot days with this frozen pie. The pretzel crust is a nice salty contrast to the tart lime filling.

Ingredients

Pretzels

2 oz, miniature twists (about 2 cups)

Sugar

1 tbsp(s)

Reduced-calorie margarine

2 tbsp(s)

Frozen limeade concentrate

6 oz, slightly thawed

Light vanilla ice cream

4 cup(s)

Tequila

1½ fl oz, about 3 tbsp

Orange-flavoured liqueur

½ fl oz, about 1 tsp

Lime zest

1 tsp(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 ºF. In a food processor or blender, crush pretzel twists until crumbs form. Add sugar; pulse until combined. Add margarine and mix well. With machine running, add 2 tablespoons of the limeade concentrate, processing until well mixed.
  2. Place mixture in an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. With back of spoon, press mixture firmly into bottom and up sides of pan to form pie shell. Bake at 375 ºF until set, about 5 minutes. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to cool.
  3. Meanwhile, in a clean food processor or electric mixer, combine ice cream, remaining limeade concentrate, tequila and liqueur; process or mix until just blended. Spoon into cooled pie shell and sprinkle with lime zest. Freeze for 2 hours before cutting into 8 slices.
