Simple Steps:
- Crush the crackers finely and mix with melted butter. Press into a pie dish and chill or bake briefly to set.
- Whisk together the condensed milk, lemon juice, and egg yolks until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the crust and bake gently until set (if the recipe calls for baking) or chill if it’s a no-bake variation.
- Top with whipped cream or toasted meringue for a beautiful finish.
- Chill the pie until firm, then slice and serve.
The result? A luscious pie with a crisp, buttery base and a luscious, tangy custard-like filling, crowned by light, airy cream.
