INGREDIENTS
For the crust:

  • 6 full-sheets (90 grams) graham crackers (or ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs)

  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) butter, melted

  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar


For the key lime cheesecake filling:

  • 12 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • ¼ cup (60 grams) sour cream

  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) key lime juice*

  • 1 teaspoon key lime zest (or regular lime zest)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 drop green food dye

  • 1 large egg, room temperature



INSTRUCTIONS
To make the crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray each cavity of a 12-count mini cheesecake pan well with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. You may also use a regular 12-count muffin pan, I suggest lining each cavity with cupcake liners for easier removal.
