Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons silver tequila
• 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 4 pieces lime wedges or slices (for garnish)
• 0.5 teaspoons coarse salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form an even crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust firmly into place.

Step 3

Refrigerate the crust for at least 15 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, tequila, and orange liqueur. Mix well until the filling is smooth and well blended.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime filling mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish with lime wedges or slices and sprinkle coarse salt around the edges of the pie if desired.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy this refreshing margarita-inspired dessert!
