Best 3 Ingredient Margarita Pie Recipes

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.

NO BAKE CHEESECAKE MARGARITA PIE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, margarita mix, and condensed milk with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Continue beating for about 2 minutes or until creamy and smooth. Spoon in the Cool Whip and lime zest and beat to combine. Continue beating for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is thick and fluffy. Mixture will continue to thicken as you whip it. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and smooth out the top. Immediately freeze for up to 4 to 6 hours or overnight (overnight recommended) before cutting into slices. Garnish with the sparkling sugar right before serving. This is best served straight from the freezer or slightly thawed.
