Atlantic Beach Pie

David Venable

A saltine cracker-crust and creamy filling gives you the perfect balance of salty and sweet.

Crust

  • 5 oz saltine crackers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

To prepare the crust, start by preheating the oven to 350°F.
Put the saltines in a food processor and pulse until they're in small crumbs, but before they're fine dust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the saltine crumbs with the butter and sugar. Press the mixture into an 8 inch pie dish. Chill for about 10 minutes, then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
To prepare the filling, add the sweetened condensed milk to the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat in the egg yolks, 1 at a time, until well mixed. Add the lime and lemon juice.
To finish the pie, pour the filling into the crust after the crust has cooled a few minutes. Put the pie dish back in the oven and bake for another 15–18 minutes. Let it cool completely before serving. Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream.

Filling

  • 1 (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup key lime or lime juice

Serving

  • Whipped cream

Cook's Notes

While fresh is best, you can substitute lemon and lime juice concentrate for the whole fruits.
