Steps

1Heat the oven to 350°F. Stir the graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together, then press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake 8 minutes and cool slightly.
2Whisk the condensed milk and egg yolks until smooth, then whisk in the lime juice — it will thicken slightly as the acid works.
3Pour into the warm crust and bake 15 minutes, until just set with a slight jiggle in the center.
4Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 3 hours.
5Whip the cream with the powdered sugar to soft peaks and spread or pipe over the chilled pie before slicing.
