Atlantic Beach Pie

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups finely crushed saltine crackers (from 1 sleeve, about 37 crackers)
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 large limes)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Lemon and lime zests, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together crushed crackers, melted butter, sugar, and egg white in a medium bowl until combined.
Transfer mixture to a 9-inch glass pie plate; firmly press on bottom and sides. Freeze 10 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk together condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth. Whisk in lime juice and lemon juice until combined. Pour lime mixture into warm crust.

Bake at 350°F until center is just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.

Beat cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

Spread whipped cream topping over chilled pie, leaving about a ½-inch border of custard showing around crust. Garnish with lemon and lime zests, if desired.
