Margarita Tart

1 Graham Nut Crust (unbaked)

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

4 egg yolks

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup tequila

2 egg whites

1 tbsp granulated sugar

Optional garnish (whipped cream, fresh lime, whatever makes it looks delicious)

Prepare Graham Nut Crust in a 9" tart pan.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Stir condensed milk, egg yolks, lime juice, and tequila in medium bowl to blend. (The mixture will be sort of beige.  For a more margarita-y look, add a couple drops of green food coloring.)  Then set this condensed milk mixture aside.

Beat egg whites with sugar until soft peaks form.

Gently fold 1 1/2 cups condensed milk mixture into egg white mixture.

Fold remaining milk mixture into egg white mixture until just incorporated.

Pour mixture into prepared crust.

Bake until filling puffs up slightly and wooden pick inserted into center comes out with some moist filling attached, about 40 minutes.

Cool tart completely, then chill until cold, at least 2 hours.

Garnish.
