Summer is basically here which means the heat is really here which means I am always searching for a cool dessert. Ice cream usually does the trick, but when you want to mix it up, I have the perfect recipe for you! These went to my stressed out finals bros and one of them had his portion eaten before I could even finish dishing out all of his other treats! I think that constitutes as a dessert well received.
Frozen Margarita Bars
Yield: about 24 bars Total Time: about 4 hours
What you need:
- 15 graham crackers, finely crushed
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 8 oz container of Cool Whip (I used lite)
- about 6 oz of margarita concentrate
- 14 oz of sweetened condensed milk
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 and spray and 13 x 9 baking sheet with cooking spray
- Gently stir the graham crackers, butter, and sugar together with a spoon
- Spread the graham cracker crust into the bottom of the pan
- Cook the graham crackers for 8-10 minutes, let them cool completely, about 20 minutes
- Mix the cool whip, concentrate, and sweetened condensed milk together in a large bowl with a hand mixer
- Spread the margarita mixture onto the crust
- Cover the bars and freeze for at least 3.5 hours. These bars will get runny the warmer they get so keep them cold
