Every year for the Superbowl, Jake gets together with a bunch of friends to watch the game and share food. He prepared this recipe, and split it in half, one with Tequila and one without. Both came out tasting great! He knew about this recipe by Guy Fieri on The Food Network and definitely scored a touchdown with this tasty dessert!

Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients
1 12-ounce box vanilla wafers
½ cup pine nuts
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup tequila
½ cup fresh lime juice
5 large egg yolks, plus 2 egg whites

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350º.
  2. Pulse the wafers and pine nuts in a food processor until well ground up.
  3. Add the butter and blend until evenly mixed.
  4. Set aside ¼ cup of crumbs; press the rest evenly into a 9-by-13 baking pan.
  5. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool.
  6. In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together the tequila, lime juice, egg yolks and condensed milk.
  7. In another medium bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the tequila mixture.
  9. Spread the filling evenly over the crust and bake for 25 minutes; cool.
  10. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top.
  11. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight before cutting.
  12. Drizzle with agave nectar, if desired.

    I would think so! Specially if you are going out on a picnic and you want to serve them chilled, it would do the trick!

    I would think so too. Ordinarily I’d make a small batch and see but I’m making lots of other food and am running out of time for experimentation. I’m willing to take a chance on the recipe because I have a similar recipe I’ve used before. Haven’t frozen that either. Hmm.

    I would freeze it with plastic wrap on top (like you would in these Pots de Créme) so they don’t dry up on the cold :)
