Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

For the filling:

  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 3 tablespoons tequila silver or blanco
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur like Cointreau
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine crushed pretzels, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Mix the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together condensed milk, lime juice, zest, tequila, and orange liqueur.
  • Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the lime mixture until fully combined.
  • Assemble: Pour filling into cooled crust. Smooth the top.
  • Freeze: Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Let sit 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with lime wedges, zest curls, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

Notes

  • For a kid-friendly version, skip the alcohol and use 1/4 cup lime juice + 2 tbsp orange juice.
  • Crust can be made a day ahead and stored at room temp.
  • Use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for best texture.
