Key Lime Cheesecake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1/4 cup butter, melted
02 - 1 cup graham crackers, crushed

→ Filling

03 - 1 cup whipped cream
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
05 - 1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice
06 - 1 cup powdered sugar
07 - 12 oz softened cream cheese

→ Garnish (optional)

08 - Lime zest and slices

# Instructions:

01 - Stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated.
02 - Spread the cracker-butter mixture at the base of each jar and press down firmly to make a solid crust.
03 - Beat the cream cheese until it's creamy. Mix in the sugar, lime juice, and vanilla a little at a time until smooth.
04 - Slowly fold in the whipped topping, making the filling light and airy.
05 - Scoop the cheesecake mix over the crust layers in each jar and smooth the top.
06 - Let the jars chill for a couple of hours. Serve cold and top with lime zest or slices if you'd like.

# Notes:

01 - Boost the lime flavor by mixing a little zest directly into the cheesecake.
02 - You can make these jars the night before for an easy dessert without last-minute prep.
