  6. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, remaining 1/2 cup honey, lime juice and zest.

  8. Stir warm gelatin mixture into yogurt mixture then pour filling into prepared pie crust.

  9. Refrigerate until chilled and set, about 3 hours.

  10. Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

  11. Add sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

  12. Slice pie and serve topped with dollops of whipped cream and lime slices.
