How to Make Margarita Pie Bars

Make Pretzel Crust

Process pretzels in a high-speed food processor. Add melted butter, vanilla, and agave into the food processor and process until mold the crust in between your fingers.

Bake Crust

Transfer the pretzel crust into an 8×8-inch pan and firmly press it into the bottom with a spatula. Bake at 350ºF for 15 minutes.

Make Filling

Meanwhile, make the margarita pie filling. Combine the Greek yogurt and agave nectar. Then, add tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and lime zest. In a separate bowl, use a hand mixing to turn the whipping cream into whipped cream. Fold the whipped cream with the yogurt mixture and mix until combined.

Transfer Filling & Freeze

Transfer the filling on top of the crust and use a spatula to evenly spread it out. Sprinkle on some lime zest. Place the bars into the freezer to set for at least 3 hours.
