Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. Blend until smooth.
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.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or individual serving glasses to form the crust.
Pour the strawberry and cream mixture on top of the graham cracker crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until firm.
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.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Frozen Strawberry Margarita Dessert!
