Let's make PIE.

I will eventually finish recapping our trip to Iceland but I'm also just enjoying some dallying around time on this blog.

Next week I'll be in Lake Tahoe with my family {♥} and I want to make Atlantic Beach Pie. I heard a radio story on this pie earlier in the spring {read it HERE} and I think it's now time for us to try it out.

Atlantic Beach Pie

Crust:
1 and a half sleeves of saltine crackers
1/3 to 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
3 tablespoons of sugar

Filling:
1 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup of lemon or lime juice, or a mix of the two

Garnish:
Fresh whipped cream {about small carton of whipping cream whipped to oblivion} and sea salt for garnish

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Smash the crackers but not until they're obliterated {no dust says the recipe} {using your hands or a food processor} and then mix them with the sugar and butter so that you have a dough-like substance.

Press the cracker mix into a regular sized pie plate and chill for 15 minutes then bake for 18 {or until golden}.

While the crust cools thoroughly mix the filling ingredients, pour into the crust, and bake until the filing has set {the recipe says 16 [?] minutes}. You'll want the pie to be very cold before you dress it with the whipped cream and serve it so chill it in the fridge for several hours, top it with the whipped cream, sprinkle on some salt, and enjoy.


I am SO excited to go to California and really looking forward to this pie after a day at the lake and a nice dinner.
