Ingredients

• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Lime zest
• 1 cup Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Tequila
• 1 tablespoon Triple sec (or orange liqueur)
• 12 whole crackers Graham crackers
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice, tequila, and triple sec. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream too much.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, cover it, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 6

Melt the butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt in a bowl until the mixture has the texture of wet sand.

Step 7

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into a rectangular shape on the prepared baking sheet, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let it cool completely, then cut it into 12 equal rectangles to match the size of the whole graham crackers.

Step 9

To assemble, scoop about 1/3 cup of the margarita ice cream onto one graham cracker rectangle. Top with another rectangle and gently press to form an ice cream sandwich.

Step 10

Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper or plastic wrap and freeze for another 1-2 hours to firm up.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy your Margarita Ice Cream Sandwiches with a salty-sweet, citrusy, and slightly boozy flavor!
