Ingredients
Crust
- 1.5 cups crumbled graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ cup lime juice from 2-3 medium limes
- 1 tablespoon lime zest from 1-2 medium limes
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
Garnish
- Graham crumbs optional
- lime slices optional
- lime zest optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, mix together the crumbled graham crackers, melted butter and brown sugar; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese and condensed milk until smooth. Stir in the lime juice and lime zest. Pour in the heavy cream and then whip until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Place 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each of six 8 oz. jars. Top with ¼ cup of the filling. Divide the remaining graham crackers on top of the lime filling, then divide the remaining lime filling into the jars.
- Chill for one hour before garnishing with a lime slice and additional zest and graham crumbs, then serve.
Notes
Let the cream cheese sit out on the counter to come to room temperature to make mixing the filling easier. Use real, full fat cream cheese for the best flavor and do not substitute a lower fat dairy for heavy cream. Ensure you are using sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk.
