With the filling and crust made, the only other ingredients you’ll need are heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar for a fluffy whipped cream topping. A bit of citrus zest makes a lovely finishing touch!

A Saltine Cracker Crust, Really?
While you may balk when you see the first ingredient in this pie, trust Chef Smith—the salty crackers make the ideal base for such a sweet, luscious filling.

While some reviewers of the recipe for Atlantic Beach Pie on Southern Living note that a graham cracker crust—the likes of which Key lime pie fans are already well acquainted with—would make a good stand-in, the truth is that Saltines add a lovely hit of salt that balance out the sweetness of the filling. The only hiccup? Some reviewers note that a Saltine crust goes stale more quickly than a graham cracker one, so be sure to gobble up any leftovers quickly. (It shouldn’t be hard!)
