Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and lime zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the lime filling into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
