Savor the creamy decadence of cheesecake with a zesty twist in these No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Jars! Enjoy the perfect balance of tangy lime and rich cheesecake flavors in every delightful spoonful.


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

16 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup key lime juice

1 tablespoon lime zest

1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Lime slices and additional graham cracker crumbs for garnish (optional)


Instructions

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of jars or glasses to form the crust layer.

In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and lime zest to the cream cheese, beating until smooth and creamy.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Spoon the key lime cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the jars.

Refrigerate the jars for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.

Garnish with lime slices and additional graham cracker crumbs before serving, if desired.
