Fremgangsmåte

FOR THE CRUST: Mix graham crackers, ¼ cup granulated sugar and melted butter together in a 9 inch pie dish until well combined. Press crumbs firmly into the bottom and up the sides in an even layer. You can use your fingers, or a glass cup to ensure crumbs are set, and no longer crumbly. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool completely.

FOR THE FILLING: Whisk together all filling ingredients except the egg yolks. Mix well until combined. Whisk in egg yolks. Pour filling into the cooled crust and bake at 350 for 23-24 minutes. Center should be set, yet slightly wiggly when jiggled. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours.

For topping: combine heavy cream and sugar in bowl. Whisk to peaks. Combine lime juice and zest. Combine.

Top ontop of chilled pie. Zest a lemon on top for aesthetics
