Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 14 ounces Low-fat sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups Key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
• 1 teaspoons Lime zest
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 0.5 cups Whipped topping (optional)
• 0 Lime slices or zest (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or a small measuring cup to ensure the crust is firmly packed.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove and let cool while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, Key lime juice, lime zest, and egg yolks until smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and spread evenly.

Step 7

Bake the pie in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 3 hours (or overnight) to allow it to fully set and chill.

Step 9

Optional: Before serving, top the pie with whipped topping and garnish with lime slices or additional lime zest.

Step 10

Slice into 8 pieces and serve chilled for a light and refreshing dessert.
