Recipe Introduction


I made this for Mother's Day 2005 and it was wonderful! Everyone seemed to enjoy it. I made the non-alcohol version (listed below) because of the kids. And the strawberry ice cream I used was Breyers. I really loved the pretzel crust. I pretty much followed the recipe except my stick of butter (for the crust) was missing about a tablespoon. This would make a great summertime dessert. And I love the fact that you can make it ahead. Oh, and 7 of us ate half of it, so technically you can get more than the suggested 10-12 servings if needed.


List of Ingredients




4 cups pretzel twists
1/2 cup butter -- melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 container premium strawberry ice cream -- (1/2-gallon)
1 container fresh strawberries (1 quart) -- (16-ounce) stemmed
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 can frozen limeade concentrate -- (6-ounce) partially
thawed
1/2 cup tequila
1/4 cup orange liqueur
Garnishes: lime rind curls -- fresh whole
strawberries, pretzels

Recipe



Process first 3 ingredients in a food processor until pretzels are finely crushed. Firmly press mixture onto bottom of a lightly greased 10-inch springform pan.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

Let strawberry ice cream stand at room temperature 20 minutes or until slightly softened.

Process strawberries and powdered sugar in food processor until pureed, stopping to scrape down sides.

Place ice cream in a large bowl; cut into large (3-inch) pieces. Fold strawberry mixture, limeade concentrate, tequila, and orange liqueur into ice cream until well blended. Spoon mixture into prepared crust in springform pan. Freeze 3 hours or until firm. Let stand 10 minutes at room temperature before serving. Garnish, if desired.


Strawberry-Lime Ice-Cream Pie: Omit tequila and orange liqueur, and add 1 (6-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate, partially thawed. Proceed with recipe as directed. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature before serving. Garnish, if desired.

Yield: Makes 10 to 12 servings

NOTES : From Southern Living
Prep: 30 min., Bake: 10 min., Stand: 30 min., Freeze: 3 hrs. For testing purposes only, we used Blue Bell Ice Cream and Triple Sec orange liqueur. This pie will soften quickly due to the alcohol content, which lowers the freezing temperature of the ice cream.
