Description

With a saltine cracker crust, a tart lemon-lime curd filling, and a mountain of fluffy whipped cream on top, this Atlantic Beach Pie is salty, sweet, tart and the perfectly balanced dessert for any summer meal. Plus, it’s make-ahead friendly and surprisingly easy to assemble, with a condensed milk filling that comes together in one bowl.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

6 ounces saltine crackers (about 1 1/2 sleeves), crushed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Filling:

4 egg yolks
1 14 ounce can condensed milk
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Pinch of salt

For topping:

1 cup Shamrock Farms Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Lemon and lime zest (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Add the saltine crackers to a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed.
To make the crust, in a medium bowl, mix together the crushed crackers, butter and sugar until fully incorporated.
Firmly press the crust into a 9-inch pie plate, using the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press down the bottom and sides. Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
Let the crust cool for 10 minutes while you make the filling.
To make the filling, in a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the egg yolks, condensed milk and salt. When smooth, add in the lemon and lime juice and beat for another minute or so, until everything is fully incorporated and no streaks remain.
Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 14-16 minutes, until it's set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
Let the pie cool completely before topping and serving.
To make the whipped cream, in a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar using a hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Top the pie with whipped cream and lemon and lime zest. Enjoy!

Notes

This pie is best consumed within about 2 days (for freshness), but can last for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. We suggest storing the whipped cream separately.

For best flavor, always use freshly squeezed lemon and lime juices.
