Margarita Pie (or Virgin-rita Variation)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the melted butter over the crumbs and toss to combine. Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie plate. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Make the filling while the crust bakes.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix together the yolks, condensed milk and lime zest. Whisk in the lime juice, tequila and triple sec. Pour the filling into the baked crust.

Step 3

Return the pie to the oven and bake until the filling is set, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Step 4

Whip the cream to full peak with the sugar and vanilla. Pipe or spread the cream onto the filling.

Step 5

Refrigerate until serving, serve chilled.
