Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 18 graham crackers
  • 2 tbs granulated sugar
  • 8 tbs unsalted butter melted

Pie Filling

  • 2 pints strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 tbs lime zest
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbs tequila
  • 2 tbs fresh orange juice
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbs powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

To make the graham cracker crust

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a blender or food processor and process until the graham crackers are reduced to fine crumbs.
  • Add the granulated sugar and melted butter. Blitz again until everything is well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan in an even layer.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then allow to cool completely.

To make the pie filling

  • Add the strawberries, lime zest, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, tequila, and orange juice to a blender or food processor. Process until completely smooth.
  • Pour this mixture into a large bowl and set aside.
  • Using either a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks appear.
  • Slowly fold half of the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture. Once the first half is combined, fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  • Pour the pie filling into the graham cracker crust. Freeze for at least 5 hours.
  • To make the whipped cream topping
  • Using either a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat for 30 seconds or so. Add the powdered sugar.
  • Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks appear.
  • Spoon onto the top of the frozen pie and sprinkle with lime zest.

Notes

  • You may need to allow this pie to thaw for a bit before slicing in. However, it can't really sit out for an extended period (i.e., > 1 hour) without melting.
