Provided by Sandra Faust

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 4h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup finely crushed pretzels
¼ cup white sugar
⅓ cup margarine, melted
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
⅓ cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons tequila
1 tablespoon orange liqueur
3 drops green food coloring, or as needed
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 lime, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Mix pretzels and sugar together in a bowl; stir in margarine until evenly incorporated. Spoon mixture into a 9-inch pie plate; press into bottom and up sides of plate to form a firm, even crust.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Mix sweetened condensed milk, limeade concentrate, tequila, orange liqueur, and green food coloring in a large bowl.
  • Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into sweetened condensed milk mixture. Spoon filling into cooled crust.
  • Cover pie with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 4 hours. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving; garnish with lime slices.

MARGARITA CHEESECAKE



Margarita Cheesecake image

This dessert takes inspiration from the classic Tex-Mex cocktail -- right down to the salt on the rim of the glass (in this case, a salted-pretzel crust). Tequila and orange-flavored liqueur make this ultra-creamy cheesecake an adults-only treat (or replace the liquor with lime juice for an alcohol-free version).

Time 5h20m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces salted pretzels (4 cups)
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 pounds (three 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, Triple Sec, or other orange-flavor liqueur
1 tablespoon tequila
1 tablespoon plus two teaspoons grated lime zest (from about 3 limes)
1 pinch kosher salt
4 large eggs, room temperature
Key limes or small Persian limes, very thinly sliced, for garnish

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in center. In a food processor, pulse pretzels until fine crumbs form (you will have a little more than 1 cup). Add sugar and melted butter; process until combined. Press evenly in bottom and 1 inch up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Filling: Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Wrap exterior of springform pan with a double layer of foil. Set a kettle of water to a boil. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Reduce speed to medium. Mix in sour cream, sugar, Grand Marnier, tequila, lime zest, and salt; beat until well incorporated. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
  • Pour cream-cheese mixture over cooled crust (filling will come up higher than crust). Set springform pan in a roasting pan; carefully pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up side of springform pan.
  • Bake on center rack until cake is set and slightly firm to the touch, about 65 minutes. Transfer springform pan to a wire rack and remove foil; let cool completely. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Run a knife around edge of cake to loosen before unmolding. Garnish top of cheesecake with lime slices.
