Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Crush saltines so that they resemble coarse meal. Stir crushed crackers, melted butter, sugar, and egg white together in a medium bowl until combined.

3. 3

   Transfer mixture to a 9-inch glass or ceramic standard pie plate greased with cooking spray; firmly press on bottom and up the sides. Freeze for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   While crust cools, whisk condensed milk and egg yolks together until smooth. Zest 1 of the lemons and 1 of the limes to yield 1 teaspoon each. Juice zested lemon and 2 of the limes to yield 1/4 cup juice each. Whisk lime juice, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla into condensed milk mixture until smooth. Pour mixture into warm crust.

7. 7

   Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until center is just set, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool 1 hour at room temperature. Refrigerate, uncovered, until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours.

8. 8

   When ready to serve, beat cream, powdered sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

9. 9

   Spread whipped cream topping over chilled pie, leaving about a 1/2-inch border of custard showing around crust. Thinly slice remaining lemon and lime into rounds. Twist slices and arrange decoratively over whipped cream. Sprinkle with reserved lemon and lime zest.
