Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the gelatin powder and water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Microwave the gelatin mixture for 10-15 seconds until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Stir in the dissolved gelatin mixture and mix until evenly incorporated.
Pour the lemon filling into the cooled graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the filling is set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with light whipped topping and lemon slices for a decorative touch.
Slice and enjoy this light and creamy lemon pie!
