Let’s make it.

Crush biscuits into coarse crumbs and divide half between four glasses.
Whisk condensed milk, yogurt, lime juice and zest until smooth and slightly thick.
Layer half the lime mixture over crumbs, add remaining crumbs and top with remaining filling.
Cover and refrigerate at least four hours until set. Keep chilled until serving.
