Frozen Margarita Pie

5 1/2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups finely crushed pretzels (4 oz.)
1 can (14 oz.) condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons triple sec
2 1/2 tablespoons good tequila
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the sugar and crushed pretzels. Press pretzel mixture across bottom and up sides of a greased glass pie plate. Keep chilled until ready to use.

Make filling. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, triple sec and tequila. Whip the cream with an electric mixer and fold the unsweetened whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture. Pour into pie shell.

Freeze for about an hour or until firm, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for 4 more hours. About a half hour before serving, remove from freezer. Serve.

Serves 6-8.
