Margarita Pie
The pretzel crust represents the "salt around the rim."
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 envelope unflavoured gelatin
3 eggs, separated
10 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons tequila
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons sugar
4 drops of green food coloring
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
pretzel crumb crust
1/2 cup chilled whipping cream, beaten to soft peaks
lime slices
Place 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over.
Combine remaining lime juice, yolks, 10 tablespoons sugar, tequila, lime
peel and salt in a heavy saucepan. Bring just to simmer over medium-low
heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add gelatin and stir until
dissolved. Pour into medium bowl. Place bowl in a larger bowl of ice
water and cool until syrupy, stirring occasionally.
Beat whites, 3 tablespoons sugar and food coloring in another medium bowl
until stiff but not dry. Whip 1/2 cup cream in a large bowl to soft peaks.
Mix 1/4 of lime mixture into whipped cream to lighten. Gently fold in
remaining lime mixture. Fold in egg whites. Pour into crust. Refrigerate
until set, at least 2 hours.
Spread whipped cream atop pie. Garnish with lime slices and serve.
Pretzel Crumb Crust
1 cup pretzel crumbs
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Press into a 10 inch pie pan.
