Frozen Mojito Pie Recipe
If you love mojitos and you love pie, this frozen mojito pie is the dessert you didn’t know you needed! It’s cold, creamy, and packed with the bright flavors of lime and fresh mint, just like the classic cocktail, but in no-bake pie form! And yes, there’s a salty pretzel crust involved, which balances all that sweet and tangy goodness in the best way.
This no bake pie includes a handful of ingredients such as cream cheese, lime juice, sugar, whipped topping, and mint. The filling is fluffy and refreshing, and once it’s frozen, it slices beautifully. You can make it ahead and stash it in the freezer until you’re ready to wow everyone at your summer cookout, BBQ, or backyard hangout.
Whether you’re craving something cool or just avoiding the oven, this mojito pie is a total win. It’s super simple, easy to customize, and basically tastes like summer in every bite.
How To Make a Mojito Pie
A few weeks ago I was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, chatting with the others, looking through magazines, reading, and enjoying the “You might be suffering from XYZ” articles, and “Take ABC Drugs for only 200$ a pill”.
I then came across this photo. What I did next is something that any of you would have done; I ripped the page off and shoved it in my purse! Quickly!
- Make the crust. In a mixing bowl, stir together the crushed pretzels and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Pop it in the freezer for about an hour, or until set.
- Mix the filling. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and chopped mint until smooth. Gently whisk in the whipped topping until everything is light and fluffy.
- Assemble the pie. Spoon the filling over the frozen pretzel crust and smooth out the top. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight if you can.
- Finish and garnish. Once the pie is frozen solid, release it from the springform pan. Top with extra crushed pretzels and a few lime slices for a pop of color.
- Slice and serve. Cut into slices and serve cold straight from the freezer, and a cucumber mojito to go with it.
- Storage tip. Keep any leftovers stored in the freezer, tightly wrapped, so it stays nice and firm.
ENJOY!

Frozen Mojito Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely crushed pretzels
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 8 ounces block of cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- Zest from 1 lime
- Juice from 2 limes
- 2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, (I like it minty, so I use 3 tbsp. of mint)
- 2 cups whipped topping, like Cool Whip
Instructions
- Prep the pretzel crust. In a mixing bowl, combine pretzel crumbs and butter; mix until combined. Press the pretzels onto the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Freeze for one hour, or until firm.
- Make the filling. In your mixer’s bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and mint; beat until well blended. Fold in the whipped topping.
- Fill and freeze. Spoon the filling over the pretzel crust. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- Finish and serve. Remove the pie from the pan and top it with crushed pretzels and lime slices. Cut and serve. Keep the pie in the freezer.
Notes
- It’s best to let the pie sit at room temp for 5–10 mins before slicing if it’s rock-solid from the freezer.
- If you want to make it fancier, a splash of white rum wouldn’t hurt for that mojito vibe.

You crack me up! I’ve “stolen” recipes on many occasions, and I always feel bad about it, but I think everyone does it. Fortunately you were able to find the actual recipe online! Looks delicious! I love mojitos 😉
You are too funny 🙂 Gorgeous pie! Glad you were able to find the recipe after all 🙂
I feel kind of guilty about doing that sometimes, but here’s an alternative… take a photo of the recipe w/ your iPhone! The pie looks delish 🙂
Awwwww man…I don’t have any cream cheese or whipped topping. 🙁 We had mojitos last night for dinner, and I’d so much love to use the rest of my mint to make this beauty. I’m bookmarking the recipe though so I can make it later. I just gotta try this! 🙂
