Place the broken graham crackers into a food processor.

Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the food processor.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Process the mixture until it resembles a sandy texture and the butter is integrated.

Dump the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and press it into the shape of the pan.

Bake the crust in the oven for about 10 minutes and let it cool.

In a stand mixer, combine 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup lime juice, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and 2 egg yolks.

Mix on low speed for about 2 minutes, then increase to high speed for another 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
