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 did incredible job Kate! It looks better than original!!! Great photo!
Kate, that looks beautiful. And, it’d certainly taste great tonight after our pulled pork dinner…
LOL 😀 That is so funny & sounds like something that would happen to me! But that pie is absolutely gorgeous and I can totally understand the need… You have made one beautiful pie… Thanks for sharing 🙂 Will go check out the recipe now…
I can’t even try to steal recipes out of magazines while at dr. offices because I usually have 1 or more kids with me so everyone is already watching my every move…I’m such a spectacle with 4 kids…anyway….if I see something I need….I make my kids go ask the receptionist if they can tear the page out of the magazine.
You are too cute, Kate! And you sure do know how to make pie! Gorgeous dessert. Now I’m off to see the recipe~
LOL! That’s just the kind of thing that would happen to me, too. It looks like you achieved a near clone of the photo, though. What a fabulous looking dessert!
That’s happened to me a few times! Glad I’m not the only one who suffers from random missing recipes. This look fabulous! Perfect summer dessert!!
You are so sweet and funny, Kate :)! And I would say your Mojito Pie looks much more beautiful and inviting than the one on the magazine photo!!
Hilarious! I remember I did that in a dentist’s office once. I was so paranoid after that. LOL! This looks remarkable! And perfect for a hot day!
Ha! That is so funny – I am not a good thief either, I would have been too scared to check and see if I had the recipe. Even though I am not a huge sweets person, the idea of a delicious beverage like this turned into a pie … well, it’s really got me thinking too!
