Another year has come and gone, but key lime pie is still my favorite dessert and what I request every year for my birthday. The tart, creamy filling is what summer dreams are made of. Add vanilla wafers, graham crackers, Calicutts Vanilla Bean Sugar, and tequila to the mix, and well...you have an automatic winner! Perfect for a picnic or just a tasty BBQ dessert. If you hide one for later, I won't tell - promise!
In a small bowl, mix together graham crackers and vanilla wafer crumbs with Vanilla Bean Sugar and butter.
With an electric mixer, beat cream until soft peaks form.
In a separate bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed cream, lime juice, tequila, and liquor, if using, until smooth. Fold into whipped cream until well blended.
Place crumb mixture in dish and spoon whipped lime filling on top. Top with lime and orange zest and serve.
