4. In a separate bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and Greek yogurt.
5. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
6. Let the pie cool to room temperature.
7. Once cooled, spread the cool whip on top of the pie.
8. Chill the pie in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Variations
If you want to mix things up, here are a few variations you can try:
