For the graham cracker crust:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt and vanilla extract, and stir until combined. - To prep 9-inch pie pan, butter the pan until the pan is evenly coated. Or, spray pan with cooking spray.
- Pour graham cracker crust mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Using your hands, press the graham cracker crust mixture into the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown, cool completely.

For the filling:
Using either a stand mixer, hand mixer or manual whisk, add 1 cup heavy cream and whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator. - In the bowl of a food processor, add the sugar and lime zest and process until sugar is fine and zest is fully incorporated. Pour this mixture into a large mixing bowl and add FAGE Total, vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
- Pour the water in a small, microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle the package of gelatin into the water and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Microwave the gelatin mixture for 20–30 seconds and stir until dissolved. Next, stir the lime juice into the mixture until incorporated.
- Whisk the gelatin and lime juice mixture into the FAGE Total mixture until fully incorporated. Next, remove the whipped cream mixture from the refrigerator and fold in half of the whipped cream mixture until combined. Fold in the remaining half of the whipped cream mixture until no streaks remain. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly.
- Chill until set, 4 hours minimum or overnight.
