Bill Smith's Atlantic Beach Pie | Genius recipes
Atlantic Beach Pie is a quintessential Southern summer dessert: sweet tangy and just the right amount of salty. A cross between a Key lime pie and a lemon meringue pie this refreshing treat has been a staple on the menus of coastal seafood restaurants for decades. But Chef Bill Smith of Crook's Corner in Chapel Hill North Carolina made the pie famous by naming it after his favorite nearby beach town.
The beloved beachside dessert features a buttery salty cracker crust a creamy citrus filling of lemons and limes and a generous topping of fresh whipped cream. Each creamy tangy bite is guaranteed to transport you straight to the Atlantic coast.
"The vanilla in the lemon-lime curd filling is reminiscent of a creamsicle and it's delicious against the salty-sweet cracker crust" says recipe developer Julia Levy. "This pie is so easy to make and doesn't need to chill overnight. You'll want to make it for all your gatherings."
