The Atlantic Beach Pie is a classic that has been around for a bit and was made popular by Chef Bill Smith of North Carolina. This pie is a wonderful combination of lemon and lime with saltine cracker crust. If you haven’t tried this one.. add it to your recipe list! It’s easy to make and a such a refreshing treat!
Atlantic Beach Ingredients Needed:
Saltine Crackers
Sugar
Butter
Condensed Milk
Egg Yolks
Lemon Juice
Lime Juice
Such simple ingredients but this Atlantic Beach Pie is loaded with flavor. The combination of the condensed milk and the lemon and lime juice is so good. Then you add in the saltine cracker crust and you have an incredible pie. This pie is perfect for any spring or summer gathering as the flavors just go great with a warm day!
If you want to take this pie to the next level, then add a whipped cream topping. I have had it both ways and we enjoyed it with or without the topping. It’s such a unique pie but one you must try.
