ATLANTIC BEACH PIE – THE ICONIC NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL DESSERT
Description
Atlantic Beach Pie is a beloved Southern classic from the coast of North Carolina. It’s bright, tangy, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a salty-sweet cracker crust. The filling is silky and citrusy, traditionally made with lemon (sometimes lime), sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks, then topped with fluffy whipped cream or a light meringue. Simple ingredients, bold flavor, and pure comfort — no wonder it’s unforgettable after the first bite.
