Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust:

1 1/2 cups (126 g) graham cracker crumbs

1 tbsp granulated sugar

6 tbsp unsalted or salted butter, melted

Key Lime Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup (237 ml) heavy cream

8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, room temperature

14 oz (397 g) sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup (118 ml) key lime juice

2 tsp key lime zest

Whipped Cream:

3/4 cup (177 ml) heavy cream

2 tbsp powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners for easy removal.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined and crumbly.
  3. Spoon about 1–1 1/2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each liner and press down firmly. Chill while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and zest; mix until fully combined.
  6. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy.
  7. Spoon or pipe the filling evenly over the chilled crusts and smooth the tops.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
  9. Before serving, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  10. Pipe or spoon whipped cream over the mini cheesecakes and garnish with lime zest or lime slices.

Notes

Use crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits instead of graham crackers for variety.

Swirl in mango or coconut puree for a tropical twist.

Top with a thin layer of white chocolate ganache for extra richness.

For a low-carb version, use almond flour and sugar-free sweeteners.

Chill overnight for the best texture and flavor.
