Frozen Strawberry Margarita Dessert

I shared a slice of the wonderfully refreshing frozen treat with the great ladies at City Hall.  They were celebrating birthdays and I just happened to show up at the right time.  How lucky I was to be there, because this is SO GOOD!!!

Frozen Strawberry Margarita Dessert

• 1 cup finely crushed fat-free pretzels
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 Tbsp. orange juice
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 14 oz. can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
• 10 oz. pkg. frozen strawberries in syrup, thawed
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

1. Combine crushed pretzels, brown sugar, gourmet nuts, and melted butter in small bowl. Press into bottom of an ungreased 10″ springform pan and chill until firm.

2. Combine all of the juices with the sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl and beat until smooth. Puree strawberries with juice in a food processor and add to the condensed milk mixture; beat until combined.

3. In small bowl, beat whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla; fold into strawberry mixture, then pour over chilled pretzel crust. Cover and freeze until firm.


*Hint* I left out the nuts because the "nuts" in my life don't like them!  Crazy people!!!
Thinking of trying this using fat-free cool whip instead of the whipping cream next time.  I'll post on how that turns out!
