Atlantic Pie-.....using up the Saltine crackers in the time of coronavirus

I'm not sure of the original source of this recipe, so cannot provide proper credit where credit is due. It is delicious! And very easy to prepare. Kinda' like a key lime pie only better.



Ingredients:
  • 60 saltine crackers
  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1⁄2 cup lime juice
  • fresh whipped cream
  • coarse sea salt
Methods:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Crush crackers finely with your hands. Add the sugar, then knead in the butter until crumbs hold together like dough. Press into an 8" pie pan. Chill 15 minutes, then bake for 18 minutes or until the crust colors a little.

While the crust is cooling (it doesn't need to be cold), beat the egg yolks into the milk, then beat in the citrus juice until completely combined. Pour the filling into the shell and bake for 16 minutes until set. Chill completely before slicing. Serve with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkling of sea salt.
