Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes

I have been celebrating babies like crazy since this past weekend! I actually hosted a baby shower on Saturday at our house (see the cake I made) and then attended another one on Sunday afternoon. This is my third baby shower in a week! Crazy! There must be something in the water. 🙂

To celebrate, I brought this No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake in a jar. When attending baby showers, or any event with food really, I like to be able to taste everything. It’s just what I do. You know you do it too.

And since we all taste everything, I decided to make it a little easier on us and make these cheesecakes in little mini jars. Aren’t they super cute?! I’m seriously in love.

And they are so easy to make! Gotta love no bake treats. Seriously.

All you have to do for the crust is mix together a little butter and graham cracker crumbs. Did you know you can buy graham cracker crumbs already crumbled? Before I started blogging, I had NO idea! It’s true and it makes this dessert even easier.

I used the end of my muddler to press them into the bottom of the jars. If you decide to do that, don’t pack it in too hard or it will be hard to scoop out. I don’t speak from experience or anything.

The filling is basically a smaller batch of the filing used in my No Bake Oreo Cheesecake. Minus the Oreos of course. Plus key lime. You get the picture.

The usual suspects are included – cream cheese, sugar, key lime, Cool Whip, a little food color. Mix ’em all up and pipe, or scoop, it into the jars.

Pipe a little whipped cream on top and a quarter of a slice of a key lime and you the cutest looking dessert ever!

And if you’re wondering where to find these super cute jars, mine are from WalMart. They are the dry herb jars. They’re the same size as the jelly jars, but without the quilted pattern on the outside. They come in packs of 4. Pretty inexpensive too.
