Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups Fresh key lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Orange liqueur (such as triple sec)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- 3 pieces Thin lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to press it up the sides as well. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the key lime mixture until fully incorporated and smooth. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set.
Before serving, garnish the pie with lime zest and thin lime slices, if desired.
Slice and enjoy your Key Lime Margarita Pie!
