Ritz Cracker Crust Lemon Pie Recipes

RITZ CRACKER CRUST ATLANTIC BEACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine crushed crackers and sugar and stir until well mixed, then add the butter and stir until the crumbs hold together. Press into an 8 or 9 inch pie pan. Chill for 15 minutes, then bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until nicely browned. I used a 9 inch pie pan and my crust was done in about 12 minutes.
• Whisk together condensed milk, and egg yolks, then whisk in the juices and zest. Pour into the baked shell and bake for another 16 minutes or until filling appears set (with the 9 inch pan it still took 16 minutes).
• Let the pie cool, then chill thoroughly for a few hours.
• Shortly before serving, make the sweetened whipped cream, put the cream in a mixing bowl and beat until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar and continue beating until thick (do not overbeat). Stir in about ½ teaspoon of vanilla if desired.
• Pipe the cream around the edges or spread over the top. Garnish with sea salt if desired.

NORTH CAROLINA LEMON PIE

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease (or spray) a 9" glass pie plate.
• Combine the saltines and salt in a food processor and pulse to coarse crumbs, about 15 pulses. Add the melted butter and corn syrup and pulse about 15 more times, until the crumbs are broken down into oatmeal-sized pieces.
• Pour the saltine mixture into the prepared pie plate. Using the bottom of a dry measuring 1/2 cup, press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom and sides of the plate, using your fingers to keep the crumbs in as you're pressing the crumbs. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown, 17 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Filling: While the crust bakes, whisk the condensed milk, egg yolks, cream, lemon zest and salt into a medium bowl until fully combined. Whisk in the lemon juice (it will thicken a bit at this point) until fully combined.
• Keep the pie crust on the baking sheet and pour the filling into the crust (crust doesn't need to be cool).
• Bake the pie (still at 350°) until edges are beginning to set but the center still jiggles just a bit when shaken, 15 to 17 minutes. It will firm up a little after it's taken from the oven and cooling. Cool completely on a wire rack, then place in the refrigerator until fully chilled, about 3-4 hours.
• Topping: In a medium bowl (or stand mixer), whisk and whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla on medium-low speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and whip until stiff peaks form, 1-2 minutes. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over the top of the pie. Garnish with thin lemon slices if desired.
