Ingredients

• 200 grams Graham crackers
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 120 ml Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Lime zest
• 45 ml Tequila
• 4 pieces Egg yolks
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 20 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 piece Lime slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a food processor, crush the graham crackers until they form fine crumbs.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish, then combine it with the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable base. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed cup to firmly press down.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, lime zest, tequila, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Pour the lime-tequila mixture into the cooled tart crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula if needed.

Step 8

Bake the tart in the oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the filling is just set but slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully set.

Step 10

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whisking until stiff peaks form.

Step 11

Spread or pipe the whipped cream onto the chilled tart as desired. Garnish with lime slices, if using.

Step 12

Serve the Tequila Lime Tart cold and enjoy!
