  • Total Time: 2.5 to 3.5 hours
  • Yield: 4 to 6 jars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 full sheets)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1/4 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Whipped cream
  • Optional: Extra lime zest or slices
  • Optional: Crushed graham crackers

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in melted butter and stir until mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each jar. Press gently to form a layer.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until silky and combined.
  4. Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling over crust layer in jars. Smooth the tops.
  5. Cover and refrigerate jars for at least 2–3 hours, or overnight.
  6. Top with whipped cream, lime zest, or slices just before serving.

Notes

Room temperature cream cheese makes the filling extra smooth. Chill the crust briefly before adding filling for a firmer base. Try crushed cookies or fruit layers for variations!
