Press in an even layer into the bottom of the baking dish. Freeze for 10 minutes. Step 3Meanwhile, in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Then, mix in lime juice and zest, tequila, vanilla, and salt until creamy and smooth. Spread evenly on top of the pretzel crust. Top with more lime zest. Step 4Freeze until set, about 1 hour more.
