Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    Crust:
    1.5 sleeves of saltine crackers
    1/2 c butter
    3 tblsp sugar

    Filling:
    1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
    4 egg yolks
    1/2 fresh lemon juice (or lime or a mix of the two)

    Topping:
    2 c heavy whipping cream
    2 tblsp confectioner sugar
    2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

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.

In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like. Wait for pie to be room temperature, then spread whipped cream over the top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

The pie needs to be completely cold to be sliced. Garnish of sea salt, sprinkled on top.

    Incredible!
    We made the pie per the recipe from NPR (as above) and it was stellar! This pie, though not low in calories or fat, is perfect as a well-deserved treat after a hard workout or long distance race. So get out and run...and then enjoy a slice of pie! - 5/17/15

    Incredible!
    This is wicked good! I had heard about it on the NPR program and it is a very satisfying mix of salty/sweet/sour. I use light condensed milk and omit the whipped cream. It makes for a refreshing summer dessert that everyone loves! - 5/17/13
