Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Use gluten-free cookies for a GF option, if desired.
  • 6 tbsp Melted Butter Ensure butter is fully melted for proper crust consistency.
  • 0.5 cups White Sugar Adjust to your preferred level of sweetness.
  • 8 oz Reduced-fat Cream Cheese Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • 1 cup Low-fat Vanilla Greek Yogurt Adds a creamy texture and a subtle vanilla flavor.
  • 1 can Fat-free Sweetened Condensed Milk A dairy-free version can be used as a substitute.
  • 0.5 cups Key Lime Juice Freshly squeezed key lime juice is recommended for the best flavor.
  • 1 drops Green Food Coloring Optional, for a vibrant green layer in the dessert.

Equipment

  • Mini Dessert Glasses
  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Divide and press into the bottom of mini dessert glasses.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese and low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. In another bowl, whisk sweetened condensed milk and lime juice until well combined. Fold into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  3. Divide the filling mixture in half; to one half, add green food coloring and mix until even.
  4. Layer the two colored fillings into the glasses, starting with the plain filling, followed by green filling until glasses are filled.
  5. Chill the desserts in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
  6. Top each dessert with whipped cream, lime zest, and crushed graham crackers before serving.

Notes

These mini desserts are perfect for entertaining or individual treats. For a gluten-free option, ensure you use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or cookies for the base. Adjust the amount of green food coloring to your preference, or omit entirely for a natural color.
