Mojito Pie, Frozen Pie, Lime and Mint

Last week our family went to a family reunion in Utah.  We had so much fun getting reacquainted with family and getting to know family that we had never met.  While we were there we took our kids to the movies (we never do that), and we went out to eat (we don’t do that in the summer either), we went swimming, and the boys had to look presentable for three days.

We got home and I asked the boys to help me clean out the car.  They are such good boys that they jumped right in and we were done in no time.  Then they laid down on the floor and sprawled out.  That’s when my littlest boy said, “All in favor of putting on our work clothes say ‘aye’ “.  The other two agreed.  Pretty soon all three of them were rooting around in chicken coop and pig pen.  They were so happy to be back to old work clothes and doing what they love.  I love these boys!!

When we got home we were hot and tired.  And ready for some home cooking.  However, I wasn’t really in the mood to crank the oven up and slave over dessert. So I went to work on this pie.  I love salty and sweet together, which I got, thanks to this pretzel crumb crust. It was very worth it. In fact, I still have two pieces in the freezer. Shshsh,  Don’t tell anyone.  I’m saving them for me!!

Mojito Pie, Pretzel Crumb Crust

Crush pretzels into crumbs. I used my Vita Mix.

Melt butter and mix with pretzels.

Pretzel Crumb Pie Crust

Line the inside of a spring form pan with plastic wrap.  Press pretzel crust mixture into pan.  Freeze until filling is ready.

Mojito Pie with Cream Cheese

Beat softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.

Mojito Pie, lime juice

Add sugar, lime juice and zest, chopped mint, and Greek yogurt.  Mix until combined and smooth.

Mojito Pie with Greek yogurt and whipping cream

Fold in whipped topping.

Mojito Pie, Green

I wanted my pie to have a little more color.  I added a little bit of green and yellow food coloring gel.

Freezer Mojito Pie

      Pour onto crust. Smooth.  Freeze for 3 hours or overnight.Mojito Pie Top with additional whipped topping. Garnish with lime and mint leaves.

The taste of fresh lime and mint are a sure summer favorite.  Combine those yummy flavors with a salty pretzel crust and you will feel like you are drinking a mojito.
