This pie is a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a buttery, crumbly crust that will make your taste buds dance with joy. So, grab your apron, and let’s dive into the world of this scrumptious pie!

Now, you might be wondering what makes this pie so special. Well, the secret lies in its unique crust made from saltine crackers, which gives it a fantastic salty-sweet balance. The filling is a creamy, citrusy dream that will transport you straight to the beach with every bite. Are you ready to learn how to make this amazing Atlantic Beach Pie? Let’s get started!

The Magic of Saltine Cracker Crust

The crust of the Atlantic Beach Pie is truly what sets it apart from other pies. Made from crushed saltine crackers, it’s a delightful mix of salty and sweet that complements the tangy citrus filling perfectly. Plus, it’s super easy to make!

Choosing the Right Crackers

When it comes to selecting saltine crackers for your crust, you’ll want to look for ones that are unsalted or lightly salted. This will help you control the saltiness of the crust and ensure it doesn’t overpower the other flavors in the pie. You can also experiment with other types of crackers, like Ritz or even graham crackers, for a different twist on the classic crust.

The Perfect Citrus Filling

The filling of the Atlantic Beach Pie is a luscious blend of sweetened condensed milk, lemon and lime juice, and whipped cream. This combination creates a silky, tangy filling that’s simply irresistible.

Fresh vs. Bottled Citrus Juice

When it comes to citrus juice for your filling, I highly recommend using fresh lemon and lime juice. The flavor is much brighter and more vibrant than bottled juice, and it really makes a difference in the final taste of the pie. Plus, you can use the zest from the fruits to add an extra pop of citrus flavor to the filling.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s dive into the actual recipe! Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups crushed saltine crackers (about 40 crackers)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk

• 4 large egg yolks

• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed saltine crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lime juice until smooth. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread it out evenly. Bake the pie for 15-17 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• In a medium bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie and serve.
