Love it! I used crushed pretzels for the crust as a different twist. Everyone loved it!

Outstanding!!! I doubled the recipe and made two pies to bring for a work potluck. One person said it was "awesome", and another said, "It tastes just like a margarita!" (Well, of course, hence the name! LOL) I'd be willing to bet I could get a really good raise this year if I made my boss one for Christmas! LOL I folllowed the recipe exactly and froze the pies overnight. This is DEFINITELY a keeper - easy and super-good!

I adapted this recipe by pouring the filling into individual sized graham cracker crusts and serving them at a Cinco de Mayo party. Everyone loved them and they were really very easy to make. This is also a very good dessert to make ahead since they need to be frozen. I left mine in the freezer over night and they were perfect!
