Key lime pie

The Margarita Pie is a dessert inspired by the famous alcoholic beverage of the same name, very popular in Mexico and various Latin American countries. Its origin dates back to the creative mix of citrus and creamy flavors that seek to replicate the essence of the Margarita cocktail in a sweet and frozen form. In different Latin American countries, this dessert may have various names or adaptations according to local ingredients, although its base always recalls the classic cocktail.

This pie has become a refreshing option for celebrations and hot days, combining a smooth and creamy texture with the characteristic touch of tequila and orange liqueur. Thus, a perfect balance between sweet and citrus is achieved, highly appreciated by those who enjoy flavors oriented towards the traditional but with a modern and delicious twist.

How to prepare Margarita Pie

Combine sweetened condensed milk, orange liqueur (Triple Sec), tequila, fresh lime juice, whipped cream, and green food coloring.

Fill the Graham cracker crust with the resulting mixture.

Cover and freeze for 4 to 5 hours or overnight until it reaches the proper consistency.

Let it rest for several minutes before cutting to facilitate serving.

Decorate each slice with whipped cream, a lime slice, and a fresh mint leaf to enhance its flavor and presentation.
