Categories     Lemon

Yield 1 Pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

For the crust:
1 1/2 sleeves of saltine crackers
1/3 to 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
For the filling:
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice or a mix of the two
Fresh whipped cream and coarse sea salt for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Steps:

  • Crush the crackers finely, but not to dust. You can use a food processor or your hands. Add the sugar, then knead in the butter until the crumbs hold together like dough. Press into an 8 inch pie pan. Chill for 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. It is important to completely combine these ingredients. Pour into the shell and bake for 16 minutes until the filling has set. The pie needs to be completely cold to be sliced. Serve with fresh whipped cream and a sprinkling of sea salt.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to set properly. I think I might have needed to use a different type of cracker.

This pie was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll add a little more sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this pie changed my mind. The flavor is perfectly balanced and not too tart.

This pie was a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of the salty cracker crust and the tangy lemon filling was amazing.
