Margarita Pie Ala Al Roker Recipes

MARGARITA PIE ALA AL ROKER

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°.
• In a medium bowl, mix together cracker crumbs and butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
• Bake until crust begins to puff, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven; transfer to a cooling rack. If crust has pulled away from sides, use the back of a spoon to press it back. Let cool completely.
• In a medium bowl, stir together condensed milk, zest, juice, tequila, liqueur, and salt.
• Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
• Pour filling into crust.
• Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firmly set, for at least 2 or up to 8 hours.
• Just before serving, whip cream until soft peaks form.
• Fold in sugar and vanilla, whipping until stiff peaks form.
• Garnish pie with whipped cream and lime slices, if using.
• Serve immediately.

FROZEN MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix pretzels and sugar together in a bowl; stir in margarine until evenly incorporated. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch pie plate; press into bottom and up sides of plate to form a firm, even crust.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• Mix sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl.
• Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into sweetened condensed milk mixture. Spoon filling into cooled crust.
• Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving; garnish with lime slices.

MARGARITA PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Process the graham crackers and sugar in a food processor to a fine crumb. Add the melted butter and tequila, and pulse until moist. Press the crumbs into a 9-inch pie plate, and bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the condensed milk, limeade, tequila, lime juice, liqueur and salt in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Beat the cream with an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Reduce the speed to low, and drizzle in the condensed milk mixture. Return the mixer to medium-high, and beat until the mixture is completely incorporated and fluffy, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl if necessary. Transfer the filling to the cooled crust, cover loosely with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Transfer the pie to the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges dipped in salt, and serve.
