Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs 150 grams
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar 67 grams
  • 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 85 grams

Filling

  • 2 packages 8 ounces each cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar 56 grams
  • ¼ cup key lime juice 60 ml
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping plus more for garnish

Instructions

  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In a medium bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs with sugar, melted butter, and salt, until well combined.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Press firmly with the back of a spoon or with your fingers, to pack the crust tightly.
  • Place cream cheese in a large bowl and beat on high speed for 2 minutes. This can be done using a stand mixer or hand mixer.
  • Scrape the sides, then add the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to high speed for 1 minute.
  • Add the vanilla, key lime juice and key lime zest and mix well.
  • Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  • Fill the muffin cups with the cheesecake filling, spreading the tops to smooth.
  • Refrigerate for 4 hours, or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, top with dollops of whipped topping or use a large star tip and a decorator bag to pipe the topping onto the cheesecakes. Garnish with additional key lime zest.
