How to Make Margarita Pie Ala Al Roker

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position rack in the center.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
  3. Press crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
  4. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and starting to puff.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. If the crust pulls away from the sides, gently press it back in place with the back of a spoon.
  6. While the crust cools, in a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, the zest and juice of 2 limes, ½ cup tequila, ¼ cup lime liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec), and a pinch of salt.
  7. Let the filling stand for 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
  8. Pour the margarita filling into the cooled crust.
  9. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the filling to set completely.
  10. Just before serving, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  11. Garnish the pie with the whipped cream and lime slices (optional).
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
