Description
A delightful no-bake twist on classic key lime pie, beautifully layered in mason jars for a charming presentation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup bottled lime juice
- Zest of 1-2 limes
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
- Combine the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in another bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the bottled lime juice and lime zest to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter in a separate bowl until crumbly.
- Layer the bottom of your mason jars with a generous tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture.
- Spoon a layer of the key lime filling over the graham cracker layer, filling the jars about halfway.
- Repeat the process with another layer of graham cracker crumbs and then the key lime filling until the jars are just about full, finishing with the filling.
- Chill the jars in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to let the flavors meld together and the filling firm up.
Notes
Chill mixing tools before whipping the cream for better volume.
