Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar until evenly mixed. Use a fork or spatula to ensure the mixture resembles wet sand. Grab about 2 tablespoons of the crust mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of each mini dessert jar.
Make the Lime Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together reduced-fat cream cheese and low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the fat-free sweetened condensed milk and fresh key lime juice until blended. Fold into the cream cheese blend until combined.
Color the Filling (Optional)
- Divide the lime filling into two bowls. If using, add green food coloring to one bowl, mixing until the desired shade is achieved.
Assemble Desserts
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, layer the filling into each dessert jar, alternating layers of plain and green colored filling until filled to the top.
Chill
- Cover the mini dessert jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Serve & Garnish
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, lime zest, and crushed graham cracker crumbs. Arrange on a platter for an elegant presentation.

Notes
