I made this several months ago and it was fabulous!
I just made it again today but substituted key limes in place of the lemons. Key lime zest, key lime juice. Makes spectacular key lime pie!
Oh boy! This looks good! Love everything you guys make! I’m an ATK nerd.
SO AM I!!!!!
Just made it and it is excellent. Very easy to make and delicious. I ended up using two medium lemons for the juice and zest.
This is one of the best pies I ever made it was so delicious I had to make it again so if you want a great Delicious lemon pie from North Carolina you should try making it it's very easy and very delicious thank you very much Ashley

Wow-must try!!
Looks soooooo gooood!!!
Looks good my favorite pie.
Going to have to try this.
We just called it Atlantic Beach pie and it originated, I believe, in the Morehead City area. We used the egg whites to make a meringue,
however, instead of whipped cream. It s a version of “Magic Lemon “ pie from Borden’s.
I've been watching this all day on Pluto ... always good recipes and tips
This sounds AMAZING! MAKING IT TODAY!!
Ashley is fantastic...!!!
Love this! This is going to be a surprise for my spouse thanks!
Wonderful.
Grew up in NC. We also made a saltine crust for some of our peach desserts.
So good! And very easy! I couldn’t wrap my mind around a saltine crust, but YUM!
In Kentucky we make one similar called lemon ice box pie
Steve Logan My husband is from Arkansas and he loves loves loves lemon icebox pie!! Might need to try this one out- I bet the saltine crust will add a nice balance!
@ @@76katster you may be right ma'am, it is my wifes fave pie, & i like it also. I hope you & your husband enjoy it also, i'm going to give it a shot. I like to cook so i do most of the cooking, except for holidays & certain ethnic foods like mexican , etc...my wife likes to do those meals & she is better at cooking them than me, even though she is german/austrian. Ma'am , you & your husband , family & friends, have a Happy Thanksgiving, God Bless.
Steve Logan God bless to you and your family! May God bless you with peace, love and joy this season!
@ @@76katster ty ma'am, as well as you & yours, God Bless you all
I grew up in west TN and we had lemon ice box pie, too.
Found my dessert for Thanksgiving! TFS
Update: Everyone loved this pie. Even those who aren’t big dessert eaters. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
I was out of corn syrup so I used Lyle's Golden Syrup and I think it is even better! :D
You Ladies are the best ❤🌹😊👍
I know this is ATK's recipe but I wanna try this with passionfruit pulp(pulp and/or concentrate sold in most supermarkets) . I feel like orange peel and fresh squeezed o.j would be lovely as well.
Yumi yumi . I want a piece. Hehe
Looks great and will definitely make this!!! Though I'll be tripling the amount of whipped cream and making it stiffer....
I wish I had tried all these desserts pre type 2 you-know-what!
I’d love a video on vinegar pie. I’ve had it once and it was the absolute best dessert I’ve ever had.
Vinegar pie? 😳
I can dig buttermilk pie. I imagine that tastes yogurty. When I hear vinegar I cringe.
Spice Master II it’s tastes like a sweet custard. Creamy texture. I was surprised.
Cooking with Shereen
Really? I have to try it then. Have not see that where I live though.
Spice Master II I never have either, I believe it’s a southern thing. I food styled for QVC and a southern lady brought them in to sell, they didn’t look very pretty, rather simple. I took one bite, then found myself eating 2 entire mini pies. It was sooo good.
Yummy
I am for sure going to try. Can that pie crust be used for other pies like apple?
Came out pretty good. If you follow the recipe exactly you get good results.
I was born in NC and lived here my whole life and I’ve never heard of this.
But I’m in
I feel like I've heard it called something else before.
@@DeRien8 The original recipe is called "Bill Smith's Atlantic Beach Pie". ATK makes two changes here: (1) They use corn syrup instead of sugar in the crust so that it's easier to cut instead of shattering and (2) they add 1/4 cup of cream to the filling to cut down on the tartness just a bit. I've made both versions, and ATK hit the nail on the head with these two changes.
It's 100% delicious and anyone who likes lemon pie will love this.
Same, but I was from western NC which has a different cuisine. Ever had sonker or livermush? :) We always went to SC beaches as they were closer to us.
@@GeekboyNC livermush makes anyone in any other party of the world cringe! 😅 it's so good though. Western NC has the best food...I haven't heard of this either but it looks good.
Just made the pie! So, so, excited! I don’t know if my family can wait 4 hours..
Did you use salted or unsalted crackers?
Made this pie (2 actually) for the first time last night for friends. Pretty darned amazing if I must say. My wife was concerned about the whipped topping not being sweet enough. It was a perfect combination of ingredients. My crust didn't hold together like Ashleys did so looks like I have reason to try another one soon. Great job ATK!
Did you use salted or unsalted crackers?
@@giselsilva I used salted.
@@TheUnclered2 thank you! Wasn't it too salty?
@@giselsilva not in my opinion
@@TheUnclered2 great! Thanks!
That´s the reason why it could be so expensive... and delicious !
I bought the ingredients today!
im sure you have not seen this.Just check and try
czcams.com/video/6KwRZY5DT_c/video.html
🙂
It does look delicious! Some people here in Argentina prepare the same pie but with a meringue topping. Nice version.
The ones I saw in NC had meringue too.
Proofing crust??
Important info:
I made this tonight and my first baking with crust only went fine except it was quite poofy and shrinking from the edges.
I made a decision to go ahead while it’s hot & use my metal measuring cup to press it down lightly once again, same as previously instructed before baking.
I’m grateful I did bc it shaped right up and allowed for my filling to have the space it needed.
I used Kroger brand regular saltines and exactly 53 along with the 1/4 c light corn syrup and 10T butter.
will this work with preztels
also what temperature is the pie done at? center temperature or half way center to crust?
John Tran oh I bet pretzel crust would be delicious!
That looks like home.
The crust appears higher when taken from the oven. When removed from refrig it crust seems shorter. Did filling expand due to cold?
Can this pie be frozen and creamed at a later date.
Possibly a second pie that used more sweetened condensed milk. One can isn't enough.
Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Four hours?
Four hours 😂😂😂😂
Is this pie crust made with saltines unsalted or salted?
Now you're talkin'!!!!
Okay y'all, so I'm gonna make this pie. But I'm going really quick and easy. I'm using a store bought pie crust and cool whip on top. Making the filling exactly as on video. Bet it's still really good. No food processor, no mixer. Go ahead and criticize me, but I'm all about short cuts.
Wow before I read your comment I was thinking the same thing lol, store bought gram cracker crust and cool whip. I bet it's still good as I don't have a food processor and I hate making whip cream. Ok enjoy!!!!
@@seanthemovieman7124 Yeah either that or a shortbread crust. Glad you think the same way I do. Just don't have time to get real technical.🙂
I'm all about the short-cuts, too, but I will NEVER buy another container of whipped cream again (although I will still use whipped cream out of the spray-can on my hot cocoa!). It's SOOO EASY to make homemade whipped cream, (& I always add almond in addition to the vanilla for extra flavor) & it's SOOO worth the extra 5 minutes b/c it tastes SOOO MUCH better than store-bought whipped cream.
If you have difficulty getting your whipped cream to set/thicken/stiffen, you can buy a whipped topping mix like "Dream Whip" or "Whip-It" from the store to help you (which is what I do).
Making homemade whipped cream makes 100% difference, especially with a little added almond flavor in it.
😋
I don't own a food processor. What do you suggest I do to make the crust?
put the crackers in a resealable plastic bag and roll them with a rolling pin until you get the right consistancy. That's what cooks did for any cookie/cracker crust before the food processor.
I just made your Lighthouse Potatoes for a pot luck. It was served along side a perfect tender smoked brisket here in our neighborhood in Palm Springs. It was a perfect match, thanks, everyone loved it.
This looked so yummy but, alas, I can't have anything from cow's milk due so I think I'll try making this vegan. Everything use that was a milk product, I can find in a vegan version. I hope it works!! I think I'll try Aquafaba for the eggs instead of the powdered stuff. Most of that stuff is just nasty.
I make the same pie except I make the crust from vanilla wafers and top it with meringue.
Does anyone have the recipe 😊
Wondering if I could use club crackers instead of saltines?
Recipe
14 ounce sweetened condensed milk,
4 egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy cream,
1 tablespoon lemon zest,
1/8 teaspoon salt,
1/2 cup lemon juice,
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Is there a substitute for corn syrup? We have corn allergies in our house.
was this about pie or something else back in those summer days... with firm jiggles, stiff peaks, quick custards, salty crusts and what was that knife called??! hehe!
What can be used to replace corn syrup?
There are other recipes here on YT that don't need corn syrup. "Our State Magazine" channel has one. Also check for "Bill Smith's Atlantic Beach Pie".
@5:45 - this is a different pie. The one they baked had less filling in it......magic of TV
Just like Granny used to make.
What about topping the pie with a meringue, shielding the crust with foil and then returning the pie to the oven to bake the crust?
Oops-- I meant to bake the meringue not the crust.
I would see if I could use honey in place of corn syrup? I just don't have it on hand.
This is a Atlantic Beach Pie
Yes it is... And no credit given ya notice!
What kind of salt? And how many grams of it? That would make this so much easier.
If they don't specify kosher salt, it's always table salt.
Can you use instant pudding
No
Pie.
I made for family, filling is incredible. The crust was meh. Couldn’t really taste much of anything. And there was too much for a 9” pan. I’ll definitely make again and hopefully refine a little with quantity of saltines. I’d probably also add a little more salt to the crust.
Something is wrong with your website I went to look at the recipe and it’s all blurry you should take action to correct this problem thank you
Extra salt in crust but unsalted butter? How about salted butter minus the extra salt?
Just one less step in making.
It's about making a recipe that's consistent for people. The amount of salt in each brand of salted butter can vary quite a bit. If they use unsalted butter, then add in just the perfect amount of salt, the results will be the same every time. If you want to use a brand of salted butter that you know and trust, go ahead. ATK is all about getting consistent results for all home cooks.
I think 10 tbl spoon of salted butter would be extra salty..but if you try it let us know..
@ Spice Master ll, you can control the salt easier by adding to the ingredients, you never know how much salt is added to salted butter, i've had some that tasted like it had little to no salt at all, & some that was extremely salty. I always use unsalted butter, i hope that helps friend, God Bless
Can this be made with Stevia? Lots of diabetics out here that would love to see dished made with Stevia or a tested sugar substitute.
Sweetened or unsweetened condensed milk
No such thing as unsweetened condensed milk. There is evaporated milk and condensed milk. The first I not sweet, the later is always sweet.
Do they use a green screen with a video of busy kitchen workers in the background!?
They have real test kitchen workers in the background
It’s an Atlantic beach pie, no body cause it a North Carolina pie.
Your so right!👏👏👏🥰
Trying to understand your comment is like deciphering ancient Sumerian cuneiform.
I made this pie followed every step watching the video. I served it to my guest they all spit it out. I tasted and spit it out too. However, the cream topping was good. I was so embarrassed. No dessert tonight 😝 I throughout this recipe!!!
I agree. I don't know about spitting it out, (my family isn't THAT bad,) but no one went back for a second bite. I don't get all the great comments. I'll stick to Key Lime pie.
Could you show some recipes that are salt free my husband almost died from heart failure he has to stay away from salt and finding salt free products is almost impossible thanks
you can buy unsalted saltine crackers or unsalted Carr's water crackers.
Can I lick the bowl 😊👍
The rest of the South calls it an ice box pie.
North Carolina thinks it's special.
Why so much salt? It scares me that it will be just too salty!
Looks delicious, but certainly not easy to make.
Too much salt instead of salt in the mix I would omit it. There is salt in the saltines crust
Don't mess with the recipe.
The recipe is hidden by pop ups!
Why y’all wanna make an old man cry? Why?
Bridget has a weird habit of sticking her tongue out under utensils--e.g., @7:24.
My wife doesn't it even more pronounced plus she holds her hand underneath, I guess in case she misses her mouth.....lol
Arghhhh....she makes me crazy!!!!!
Down East North Carolina?!?! Down East is in Maine.
"you're outnumbered yankee. get thee hence."
😉🤣 Down east is in NC, also.
Nah it ain’t, honey. Bless yo’ heart. And “down east” clam chowder is definitive.
Directions unclear. Accidentally established my own country in the US
The recipe looks great! Please drop "go ahead and..." from your vocabulary.
I swear this is a repeated episode...
first of all there are two pies ... its pretty obvious that the pie that they show after baking isnt the same pie ... kinda dodgy for ATK
I agree.
Most cooking shows make one before filming, to use for the after. This is especially true for items that have to chill for a long time. This helps keep production cost at a reasonable level.
The difference seen could have been from the distribution of the crust, side vs bottom, between the two.
Didn't care for the crust😔
To bad they didn't have access to Utah State Universities Aggie Ice Cream, voted best in the state of Utah.
So nice to see two women get along and hate each other at the same time. Oh wait, standard woman protocal.
Not happy with this recipe. Center did not firm up after many hours of refrigeration! Very disappointed, usually your recipes are spot on, not this time!
I’m really distracted by her curls. Not in a good way. Perhaps, tone down the tresses just a bit? This is food prep, after all.
knitwoolybully its a cooking show, not a fashion one. why should she have to change her natural hair texture bc some people find it “distracting”? it’s just hair
Curls are picky and must be left alone to do as they please. Her hair is beautiful, stop being pointlessly critical
julia c I’m probably just jealous her curls behave.
Wow, you really thought this and decided it was a valid comment to share with the world….
wow jussssssst wow
