  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
Creamy Key Lime Filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature

  • 2 fresh lime wheels halved
  • 1 tsp extra lime zest

Method
 

  1. - step: In a small bowl, combine the coarsely crushed graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and light brown sugar. Stir until it resembles wet sand and set aside.
  2. - step: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  3. - step: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until completely smooth. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, fresh lime juice, and lime zest. Beat until uniform and thick. Add food coloring if desired.
  4. - step: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture using a rubber spatula until light, airy, and fluffy.
  5. - step: Assemble by dropping 2 tablespoons of crumbs into clear cups, followed by a thick piped layer of mousse. Repeat layers to the top.
  6. - step: Garnish with extra crumbs, lime zest, and halved lime wheels. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours before serving.

Notes

Pro-Tip for Entertaining: If you are making these a day in advance, store the lime mousse in a gallon-sized zip-top bag in the fridge and keep the buttered graham cracker crumbs in an airtight container at room temperature. Pipe and layer them into your clear cups 1 to 2 hours before your guests arrive to ensure the crumbs stay completely crunchy and pristine!
