  • Total Time: 240
  • Yield: 12 mini cheesecakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
0.5 cup granulated sugar (divided)
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
0.33 cup fresh key lime juice
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F.
Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tbsp sugar, and melted butter until moist.
Press 1 tbsp of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner.
Bake the crusts for 5 minutes and remove to cool slightly.
Beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the key lime juice and vanilla extract.
Pour the filling over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
Bake for 15 minutes or until just set.
Cool to room temperature then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the filling. Fresh key lime juice provides the best flavor compared to bottled alternatives. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
