Margarita Pie

"I haven't tried this pie yet, but it looks good and sounds like it would be a really light refreshing summer dessert. If you try it first, let us know how you like it. Bake time is freezing time. Prep is my guestimation."

  1. Good flavor for sure! Crust did not stay together. I might try slightly more butter next time. Filling was easy. Used cool whip instead of whipping and green food coloring. Instead of orange liq. I used 3 tbls tequila. This would be a fun dessert for a mexican-themed dinner. My guests really liked it.
     
  2. This pie is fantastic! I've got the same recipe but we usually double(or more) the alcohol. We also like to put a little extra salt in the crust--if you're gonna have margarita pie it might as well taste like a margarita!
