Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Carefully melt butter. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar.
  2. Add melted butter to graham cracker crumb mixture and mix until it gently holds together.
  3. Press crust mixture into a 9" pie pan, keeping it an even thickness. To help fight shrinking crust, push some of the crust "dough" over the top rim of the pie pan.
  4. Put crust in the oven at 360 degrees for about 7 minutes, until the crust looks browned and toasty. Remove from oven and cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes, or until COMPLETELY cool.
  5. When the crust is completely cooled, mix the three remaining ingredients -- condensed milk, egg yolks, and lime juice -- in a bowl until they are combined, smooth, and relatively thick. Add half the lime zest, if desired.
  6. Pour this custard into the pie shell and bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. The center should still be jiggly when the pie comes out of the oven.
  7. Refrigerate immediately, and for a total of at least three hours, giving the filling time to set completely.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream, lime zest, and dig in! Refrigerate leftovers right away.
