Key Lime Margarita Pie


Tonight's meal was ordinary...just some shrimp, noodles and vegetables. But tonight I made a dessert! That's right. It is Tim's last day of classes for the semester so I thought this would be nice. It was awesome! This recipe was again from the Kraft Food and Family magazine summer 2005 issue. It has such an awesome lime flavor to it. The kool-aid really gives it a kick. I give this recipe a 5!

1-1/4 cups crushed pretzels
1/4 cup sugar
6 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lime juice
1 env. KOOL-AID Lemon Lime Unsweetened Soft Drink Mix
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

MIX crushed pretzels, sugar and butter. Press firmly onto bottom and up side of 9-inch pie plate.
Refrigerate until ready to fill.
COMBINE condensed milk, lime juice and drink mix in large bowl until well blended. Remove 1/2 cup whipped topping; set aside. Gently stir in remaining 2-1/2 cups whipped topping. Pour into crust.
FREEZE 6 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature 15 min. or until
pie can be cut easily. Garnish with reserved whipped topping before serving.
Store leftover pie in freezer.

We'll see if it makes it in the freezer for 6 hours. All I did was taste the mixture of the ingredients and I almost ate the whole thing right then.
