Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cups Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 tablespoon Triple sec or orange liqueur
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest, for garnish
- 0.25 teaspoons Coarse sea salt, optional for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, tequila, and triple sec until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture in batches until fully incorporated.
Pour the filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
Just before serving, garnish the pie with lime zest and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
