Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • 2 tablespoons triple sec
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Fresh lime slices, for garnish
  • Whipped cream, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well mixed.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

  7. Bake the pie for 20 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  9. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set completely.
  10. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  11. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie.
