Originally made with the tart juice of Florida Key limes, key lime pie became popularized in a recipe that uses sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and regular lime juice. Dense and creamy, it was (and is) usually served in a graham cracker crust.

This is a rethinking of that pie. It’s made with lime juice and plain yogurt and is very light and low in fat, bursting with lime tartness. It separates into neat layers as it chills.
