  • Sugar – ¼ cup
  • Cherry Limeade Koolaid – 1 packet
  • Sweetened condensed milk – 1 can (14 oz)
  • Heavy whipping cream – 1 cup
  • Lime juice – 2 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a bowl, mix the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  3. Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Tip: Use the bottom of a measuring cup to evenly press the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the Cherry Limeade Koolaid packet, sweetened condensed milk, and lime juice until smooth.
  6. In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Tip: Chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes before whipping for best results.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Koolaid mixture until no white streaks remain.
  8. Pour the filling into the cooled pretzel crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Freeze the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Tip: Cover the pie with plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.

Perhaps the most surprising part of this pie is how the salty pretzel crust perfectly balances the sweet and tangy filling. Serve it chilled, with a sprinkle of crushed pretzels on top for an extra crunch, or a dollop of whipped cream for a touch of elegance.
