  2. For the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press into a 9-inch pie pan, making sure the sides and the bottom are an even thickness. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
  3. For the filling: In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the lime juice, green food coloring, cream cheese and condensed milk.

  5. Pour into the pie shell and place in the refrigerator.
  6. In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the crema and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture over the top of the pie, creating peaks evenly over the surface.

PartySugar's Note: I had some free time and decided to get creative and practiced my piping with the creme fraiche topping.
