List of Ingredients




For the Crust:
1 cup finely crushed pretzels
3 tablespoons sugar
1/3 cup melted butter

For the Filling:
2 envelopes (1/4 ounce each) unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup water
3 cups ripe strawberries plus several for top decoration
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup tequila (orange juice may be substituted)
1 tablespoon triple sec (if you're using tequila)
1 cup good quality strawberry yogurt
1 6-ounce can frozen limeade concentrate, slightly thawed

For Garnishing:
crushed pretzel pieces
perfect strawberries
1 cup frozen whipped topping (either non-dairy or whipped cream, your choice)




Recipe



Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake 9 or 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool completely.

Filling: Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small saucepan. Allow to stand 5 minutes to soften, then cook over medium heat until gelatin is completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).

Purée the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Add the cooled gelatin mixture, sugar, tequila, triple sec, yogurt and limeade and continue blending or processing until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (spoonfuls of filling will mound). Spoon filling into a prepared crust, and freeze until firm, preferably overnight, but at least 6 hours.

Garnish with whipped topping, sprinkles of crushed pretzels and several half or whole perfect strawberries.
