  Delicious and refreshing -- a perfect summer dessert.
  
  Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake 9 or
  10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  
  Allow to cool completely.
  
  Sprinkle the gelatin over the water in a small saucepan.
  Allow to stand 5 minutes to soften, then cook over medium
  heat until gelatin is completely dissolved (about 2 min).
  
  Purée the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Add
  the cooled gelatin mixture, sugar, tequila, triple sec,
  yogurt and limeade and continue blending or processing
  until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1
  hour (spoonfuls of filling will mound). Spoon filling into
  a prepared crust, and freeze until firm, preferably overnight,
  but at least 6 hours.
  
  Garnish with whipped topping, sprinkles of crushed pretzels
  and several half or whole perfect strawberries.
