Open in Pepper →Salty Crust And Cold Citrus Filling
A pie that sets in the fridge is a gift on a busy day. You stir the filling, press the crust, and let the cold do the work while supper cooks.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when it's too hot to turn the oven on for long, when company is coming Sunday, or when they want something tart after a heavy meal.
Every recipe here is built on lemon or lime and sweetened condensed milk, from the saltine-crust Atlantic Beach Pie to Key lime pie, Lemon Icebox Pie, Creamy Lemon Pie, and Lime Icebox Pie.
Quick Tips
- 1
Crush crackers by hand
Break the saltines into coarse crumbs with your fingers, not a food processor, so the crust keeps a little crunch after it bakes 18 minutes.
- 2
Chill at least four hours
The filling needs 4 hours in the fridge to slice clean, and overnight is better for the icebox pies.
- 3
Zest before you juice
Grate the zest off 3 to 4 limes or lemons first, then squeeze; a teaspoon of zest in the filling doubles the citrus flavor.
- 4
Use room temperature eggs
Let egg yolks sit out 20 minutes so they whisk smoothly into the condensed milk without lumps.
