  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup crushed graham crackers
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
– 1/2 cup key lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)
– 1 teaspoon lime zest
– Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
– Lime wedges or slices, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating the No-Bake Key Lime Pie Jars can be done effortlessly by following these steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Layer the Crust: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar. Press down gently to create an even layer.
3. Make the Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, mixing until well integrated.
4. Add Lime Juice and Zest: Stir in the key lime juice and lime zest until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
5. Fill the Jars: Spoon the key lime filling into each jar over the graham cracker crust, filling them about three-quarters full.
6. Chill: Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the filling to set.
7. Serve and Top: When ready to serve, top the jars with a dollop of whipped cream and a lime wedge for a decorative touch.

These quick steps make it incredibly simple to create a delightful dessert that impresses without the fuss of traditional baking.
