Frozen Margarita Pie Recipe:
Yea! We managed to line up a babysitter for New Year’s Eve. (New Year’s Eve sitters can be hard to find.)
Since we have a babysitter we’re heading out to a gathering at a nearby friend’s house (where there will be no children.) I volunteered to bring something special for everyone to enjoy- I’ve got a great recipe for a margarita pie which can be made with or without alcohol.
Raise your hand if you like pie. Keep it raised if you like the flavors of lemon and lime… How about margaritas? If your hand is still raised, then you are going to love this special recipe I am sharing today.
This Margarita Pie is super easy to put together. It’s frozen; so if you are planning to take it somewhere you’ll either need to put the pie together on-site and plan for enough time for everything to re-freeze (about an hour) or make sure you’re not traveling too far, so it doesn’t melt.
Since this party is just down the road, (and is adults only) I’m making it at my house and will definitely be adding a bit of tequila to make this margarita pie boozy!

Notes
- The instructions below are for a deeper pie made in a springform pan with real whipped cream topping and a DIY graham cracker crust. To same time, you can use a store-bought graham cracker pie crust and Cool Whip. A store-bought pie crust is slightly smaller, so you will want to decrease the amount of ice cream to 2 cups each and the margarita mix to 9 oz.
- Computed calories are for 10 slices and no tequila.
- You can reduce the calories by using low-fat ice cream and cool whip.
