Frosty Lime Ice Cream Pie

This is a wonderful non-alcoholic margarita-type pie.

2 c. crushed pretzels
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. melted butter
1 (6 ounce) can frozen limeade concentrate
1 qt. vanilla ice cream (homemade or commercial)
1 c. whipping cream
Fresh lime and mint leaves for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine crushed pretzels, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom and up sides of a lrg. pie plate. Bake crust for 8 to 10 mins.. Cool completely, then freeze until ready to use (freezing will make crust cold and allow ice cream pie to harden sooner).

Partially thaw limeade concentrate; slightly soften ice cream and fold into limeade (it need not be completely mixed at this point).

Whip cream until stiff; fold into ice cream mixture. Spoon filling into cold crust; freeze until firm.

To serve, garnish each slice with a thin lime twist and a mint leaf.

Serves 8.
