Equipment

  • 9 x 1½-in pie pan
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1.5 cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs from about 12 whole graham crackers
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

  • 2 cans sweetened condensed milk 14-oz cans
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • ¾ cup fresh lime juice

For the Topping

  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
  • 8 to 10 slices thin lime slices

Instructions
 

Make the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter; stir with a fork first, and then your hands until well combined.
  • Press the crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan to form a crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, until just slightly browned. Let the crust cool on a wire rack.

Make the Filling

  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, yogurt, lime zest, and lime juice.
  • Pour the mixture into the warm graham cracker crust. Bake for 15 minutes, until the filling is almost set.
  • Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for about 3 hours until chilled.

Make the Topping

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until medium peaks form. Top the pie with whipped cream.
  • Decorate with lime zest and lime slices. Store the pie in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Slice the pie into wedges, wiping your knife clean between slices, and serve cold.

Notes

You can make the crust a day ahead, but add the filling on the day of serving to avoid sogginess.
