Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Using a food processor, crush the saltines into coarse crumbles. Add the sugar and melted butter; stir until well combined. Press mixture into bottom of a greased 9” pie pan. (Tip: Use a flat bottomed glass to help push crust into pan.)

Step 3

Bake at 350° for 17-19 minutes, or until light golden brown in color.

Step 4

While the crust is baking, add all of the Filling ingredients (condensed milk, heavy cream, egg yolks, lemon juice and lemon zest) in a medium bowl; whisk together until well-combined.

Step 5

Once crust has been removed from oven, pour filling into pie. Bake for 15-17 more minutes, or until filling has set.

Step 6

Let pie cool at room temperature and then refrigerate until cold. (Note: This pie needs to be cold before slicing.)

Step 7

Using a handheld mixer, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Using an offset spatula or a spoon, spread the whipped cream evenly on top of pie before serving.
