Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Pour 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk into a bowl, scraping out all contents from the can.

Add 8 egg yolks (separated from the whites) to the bowl with sweetened condensed milk.

Add 1 and 1/4 cups of lemon juice (store-bought) to the mixture.

Add the zest of 2 lemons to the bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the mixture.

Whisk all ingredients together until extremely smooth.

Pour the mixture into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the pie for 20 minutes; it will still be jiggly when done.

Let the pie sit and completely cool after baking.

Cover the pie and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight (or at least 3 hours).

After chilling, cut a slice to check the firmness of the pie.
