Directions: For crust, in a medium bowl, combine cookie crumbs, the 3 Tbsp crushed lemon drops and melted butter. Press into bottom of a 9- or 10-inch pie plate or an 8- or 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
For filling, in a medium saucepan combine the sugar, gelatin and cornstarch. Add lemon peel, lemon juice and water. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
Stir half of the lemon mixture into the egg yolks. Return lemon-egg mixture to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until filling comes to gentle boil. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in cut-up butter until melted. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Cool 20 minutes.
Place yogurt in a large bowl; gradually stir in lemon filling. Carefully spoon into crust-lined pan. Cover and chill overnight.
For topping, in a medium-size chilled bowl, beat whipping cream to soft peaks; fold in 1 Tbsp crushed lemon drops. To serve, carefully loosen and remove sides of springform pan, if using. Top pie with whipped cream and, if desired, Candied Lemon Slices and fresh mint.
