Ingredients

Crust

  • 1¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar

Filling

  • 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup key lime juice

Cream Cheese Whipped Cream

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Melt the butter and pour it over the graham cracker mixture, stirring to coat. The mixture should look like wet sand.
  • Divide the graham cracker mixture among the 20 jars, pushing it down slightly.  You should have a generous Tablespoon of crust for each jar. 
  • Beat room temperature cream cheese on medium speed until it is smooth.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, a little at a time, beating between until smooth and incorporated.
  • Whip in the key lime juice. Be sure the scrape the sides of the bowl multiple times and beat until smooth.
  • Spoon cream cheese mixture into jars.  We like to use a large cookie scoop or ice cream scoop for this.
  • If you would like to use the cream cheese whipped cream, beat the sugar and cream cheese until completely smooth.  Stir in the vanilla if desired.
  • With the mixer running, slowly drizzle in the cream.  Beat until it forms stiff peaks.  Spoon or pipe on top of key lime cheesecake filling.
  • Chill in the fridge for a minimum of an hour before serving.
  • Garnish with lime zest if desired.

Notes

You will need 1 sleeve of graham crackers to make the crumbs for the crusts.
I like using my stand mixer to make the filling. However, a medium mixing bowl and hand mixer also works well. 
If you can't find key lime juice, regular lime juice will work. The flavor will be a little bit different, but still tasty.
