No-Bake Margarita Pie

Give this recipe a shot (or two), and I promise it’ll change your outlook on summer heat, and this is coming from someone who hates both summer and heat. But this pie is so unbelievably refreshing that it makes all that pesky heat just melt away, like any good margarita should. It’s sweet, sour, cool, and full of booze. I’ve yet to find a dessert that I can’t improve with an ounce or two of the good stuff. Just be sure to think carefully, and avoid making pour decisions. Use a really good tequila in this recipe since it’s no bake, and you will get tequila flavor shining through with every mouth-watering bite. This is now my favorite pie of all time, because anything that can help make me hate summer heat less is truly a miracle.

Marg my words: this is the best pie for summer.

Easy, super refeshing and gluten free pie with tequila and Triple Sec

You can sub any premade pie crust if not worried about gluten. I recommend using a smooth tequila like Cazadores (nothing from a plastic bottle, y’all…)

Ingredients

*1 Midel gluten free pie crust
*225 g (8 ounces) reduced fat cream cheese at room temp
*96 g (1/2 c) Lakanto granular monkfruit sweetener
*3-6 g (1/2-1 tsp) sugar free line Jell-O (use more for greener pie color)
*80 g (1/4 c lime juice ~2.5 large limes)
*1 1/2 ounces Cazadores reposado tequila
*1 ounce Triple Sec
*365 g (1 1/2 containers) Cool Whip sugar free


Directions

  1. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth
  2. Add in Jell-O, lime juice, tequila, and Triple Sec, blending well
  3. Fold in 1 tub of Cool Whip until totally mixed
  4. Pour into pie crust and freeze one hour before typing topping pie with remaining Cool Whip (I used a 1M tip to decorate a border)
  5. Freeze 4 hours or until set, then cut into 8 slices
  6. Keep leftovers in freezer, thaw slices for 15-20 minutes before serving
  7. Serve with a margarita on the rocks for a divine experience

I mean, it’s a kind of healthy pie…several servings of fruit, and alcohol has antibacterial properties, so…
