Strawberry Margarita Pie

Last updated on July 12, 2021 By Anna This post may contain affiliate links.

Strawberry Margarita Pie is a creamy strawberry pie made with pureed strawberries, lime juice, condensed milk, Triple Sec, Tequila and whipped cream.  If that's not enough, it also has a salty pretzel crust!  Or at least my version does.  The original Epicurious graham has a graham cracker crust,  The salty version is so much better.

Strawberry Margarita Pie is Boozy

This pie would probably be just fine without the Triple Sec and the Tequila, but if you are a margarita fan you should definitely keep them. Even in the small amounts, they add flavor and make the pie more like something you'd drink at a Mexican restaurant. If you are looking for something without the booze, here's a recipe that I also recommend -- Frosty Strawberry Squares. They're just as good, but in a different way.

Ingredients
 

Crust

  • 5 ½ tablespoons 80 grams butter
  • ¼ cup 48 grams sugar
  • 1 ½ cups finely crushed pretzels 4 oz/114 grams**

Filling

  • 1 lb strawberries halved (3 ½ cups)
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lime zest
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 can 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tablespoons tequila
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec
  • 1 ½ cups chilled heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the sugar and crushed pretzels. Press pretzel mixture across bottom and up sides of a greased glass pie plate. Keep chilled until ready to use.
  • Make filling: Purée strawberries, zest, lime juice, condensed milk, tequila, and liqueur in a blender or food processor until smooth, then transfer to a large bowl.
  • Beat cream to stiff peaks. Fold one third of cream into strawberry mixture gently but thoroughly to lighten, then fold in remainder in 2 batches.
  • Pour filling into crust, mounding it slightly, and freeze, uncovered, until firm, about 4 hours. Remove from freezer and let soften in refrigerator, about 40 minutes, before serving (pie should be semisoft).

    Hi Judy,

    I'm so glad you liked it! It does make a lot of filling, but I just piled all mine into the crust and it somehow managed to fit in.

    This pie recipe is a keeper. Tried it last nite...and its WONDERFUL. I used a graham cracker crust that was sitting around in the pantry....didnt want it to get stale (hahahha). Found I have more pie filling than I needed for the crust so I partially froze it and then added the extra on top. Otherwise I made no modifications to the recipe. So, if you like strawberry margaritas make this.

    This pie looks great. This is definitely another that I'll have to try! I'm so much better at recipes that don't require baking!

    Funny about the strawberries! It sounds like my house. I pretty much have to hide stuff if I need it for something specific. Otherwise, it disappears!

    This looks great! I love the strawberry margarita flavor in unexpected places (besides drinks), so this will be a good addition to my recipe files. My current favorite is strawberry margarita jam. Spread on a bagel with cream cheese it is like a cocktail for breakfast!

    Bummer about the eye. Hope it's all "fixed" soon.
    The pie looks great. Too bad I just used up the 4 lbs. of strawberries I had.

    Boy does this look good!!! Think I will try it with 1 cup Maragrita mix instead of the lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Raspberries or peaches may work, too.
