Yield: 10 people
Prep Time 10 minutes
Freezing Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients:
Crust
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
5 Tbsp powdered sugar
6 Tbsp butter melted
Filling
1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup frozen margarita mix concentrate, thawed
1 (16-oz) container frozen sliced strawberries with sugar, thawed
1 (8-oz) container Cool Whip, thawed
Directions:
Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Combine sweetened condensed milk and margarita mix in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add strawberries and beat at low speed until mixed.
Fold in Cool Whip and pour into prepared crust.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes:
Margarita mix is a sweet lime juice concentrate used to make frozen margaritas. Look for it in the freezer section near the other frozen juice concentrates. It does NOT contain alcohol.
You can use an equivalent amount of bottled margarita mix instead of frozen margarita mix.
Can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen. Slice the strawberries and sprinkle with some sugar to make a syrup and proceed with the recipe as directed.
You can use a store-bought graham cracker crust. If you go that route, you will definitely have leftover filling. You might even have enough for two pies.
You can make this margarita pie with a pretzel crust. Just crush the pretzels and use an equivalent amount. I love this pie with a pretzel crust! Sweet & salty. Just like a margarita!
This pie will keep for several weeks to a month in the freezer. Make sure to cover the pie tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to avoid freezer burn.
