A no-bake key lime filling over a graham crust in 12 mini mason jars, topped with whipped cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup key lime juice
  • 12 mini mason jars
  • Freshly whipped cream and halved lime slices for garnish

Directions

  • Stir the crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together. Pack a heaping 1 tablespoon firmly into the bottom of each jar, then chill for at least 10 minutes.
  • Using the whisk attachment, whip the cream with the vanilla until stiff, then move it to a separate bowl.
  • Switch to the paddle and beat the cream cheese on medium until smooth. Add the condensed milk a little at a time, beating until smooth, then mix in the whipped cream.
  • Turn the mixer to low-medium and pour in the key lime juice slowly, beating until the filling is smooth and creamy.
  • Pipe the filling over each crust until the jars are a little more than three-quarters full.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
  • Right before serving, top with whipped cream and a half slice of lime.
