Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Take Nilla wafers and place them in a Ziploc bag.

Seal the bag tightly and press the air out.

Crush the cookies in the bag until they resemble sand-like crumbs.

Pour melted butter over the crushed cookies and mix to moisten them.

Press the mixture into a springform pan to form the crust, covering the bottom and sides.

Bake the crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then cool it in the freezer.

Microwave fresh lemons for 20 seconds to soften them, then roll them to release juices.

Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl, discarding the seeds.

In a bowl, whip softened cream cheese until smooth.

Add sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese and mix until combined.

Add heavy cream and lemon juice to the mixture, mixing on low speed to avoid splatter.

Pour the mixture into the prepared crust and shake gently to settle it.

Chill the pie in the freezer for about 4 hours or overnight until solid.
