Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine ground vanilla wafers, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix well and press into the bottom of a baking dish.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes until lightly golden; let cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk egg yolks until thick; blend in sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and zest.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until set. Cool at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
