- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Break graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor and add sugar. Pulse until coarsely ground. Add melted butter and pulse about 4 times until mixture resembles damp sand; transfer to a pie plate and very lightly press into bottom and up sides of the dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven just until fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes. Let cool.
- Whisk together sweetened condensed milk and lime juice until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks until well combined. Stir in sour cream and zest until smooth.
- Pour filling over graham cracker crust; lightly spread in an even layer. Place pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until just set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center, 14 to 16 minutes. Remove to a wire rack to cool to room temperature, about 40 minutes. Chill pie in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- Place cream, powdered sugar, and rum in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until cream holds medium peaks. Serve pie with whipped cream.
