Strawberry-Mango Margarita Dessert (Virgin) image

This recipe I got from Pillsbury Spring Get-togethers April/May 07 book. This is a very tasty dessert and it makes a beautiful presentation. It's nice to take to a potluck or party. The original recipe calls for crushed pretzels for the crust. After making and tasting the pretzels got a bit soggy. I felt it would taste better with a graham cracker crust. However, I have not tried the graham cracker crust yet. Either way I hope you enjoy!

This dessert is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good option for a party or potluck. The strawberry and mango flavors are delicious together, and the margarita mix adds a nice touch.

I'm not a big fan of margaritas, but I really enjoyed this dessert. The strawberry and mango flavors are delicious together, and the margarita mix is subtle enough that it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

I was a bit disappointed with this dessert. The flavors were just okay and the texture was a bit too icy for my liking.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the flavors were still good. I think next time I'll use less sugar or maybe even omit it altogether.

This dessert is so easy to make and it always turns out delicious. I love that I can use fresh or frozen fruit, depending on what I have on hand. It's also a great way to use up leftover margarita mix.
