📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Blend until smooth.

3. In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until firm peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until evenly combined. Set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand.

5. Press the graham cracker crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or individual serving glasses to form the crust.

6. Pour the strawberry and cream mixture on top of the graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a spatula.

7. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.

8. Before serving, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Garnish with lime zest and fresh mint leaves, if desired.

9. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Frozen Strawberry Margarita Dessert!
