Mini Key Lime Cheesecake in a Jar

Nothing says summertime like Key Lime pie to me – my top 2 favorite pies & a must for me anytime we head somewhere warm & sunny! The flavor is so nice & light & flavorful & these mini cheesecakes in a jar are so perfect to serve at a gathering like a baby or wedding shower or a ladies get-together. I love the recipes in a jar as they are so cute & fun to serve & also make it easy for serving without dishing up a big pie. Everything stays nice & compact & contained.

This recipe is a simple recipe to make as it’s a no-bake recipe so it can be made quickly. You can whip this up for a delicious light, spring or summer recipe! Just mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter & a little sugar (and did you know you can even buy graham cracker crumbs already crumbled, if you’d rather not do that yourself – you should be able to find at most local grocery stores or on Amazon if you prefer). Just another way to speed up how quick this recipe is to make!

Mini Key Lime Cheesecake in a Jar:

Ingredients:

1 cup graham crackers, crushed
2 tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Butter, melted
1/2 cup Cream cheese (room temperature)
1/3 cup Condensed milk
1/3 cup Heavy cream
3 tbsp Lime juice
1 tsp Lime zest
2 tbsp Powdered sugar
Whipped cream (for garnish on top)

Directions:

Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter and sugar in a small bowl.

Place the graham cracker mixture into serving jars, dispersing evenly between the jars, and press the mixture down in the bottom of the jar.

In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with cream cheese,, condensed milk, powdered sugar, lime juice and 1/2 of the lime zest until it is well combined and smooth (save out the rest of the lime zest for garnishing the tops of the jars).

Add the cream cheese mixture to the jars on top of the graham cracker layer, dispersing evenly between the jars. Garnish with whipped cream and lime zest.
