Salted pretzels form the crust for this light and refreshing dessert that mimics the flavors of the lime-flavored cocktail except for the tequila. Ingredients:
1 cup crushed salted pretzel stick |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 cup butter, melted |
1/3 cup orange juice |
1 (1 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin |
2/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 limes) |
1 1/2 cups whipping cream |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup sugar |
lime slice |
Directions:
1. Place paper baking cups in muffin pans.
2. Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Spoon tablespoonfuls of pretzel mixture into prepared pans, pressing to cover bottom of cups.
3. Bake at 300°F for 8 minutes. Remove from oven; cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile, place orange juice in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with gelatin; stir and let stand 1 minute.
5. Microwave orange juice mixture at HIGH 30 seconds or until gelatin dissolves; stir well. Stir in lime juice; cool to room temperature.
6. Combine whipping cream and salt in a medium bowl.
7. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until foamy.
8. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until soft peaks form. Gradually fold in orange juice mixture until combined.
9. Fill each muffin cup with 1/3 cup whipped cream mixture. Freeze 2 hours or until firm. Garnish with lime slices, if desired.
