Prep: 15 minutes
Refrigerate time 2 hours

Ingredients
 

  • 5-6 sheets Graham crackers
  • 2 Tbsp. Butter (melted)
  • 1 Large Lime (zested)
  • 1/4 C. Lime juice
  • 1 C. Sweetened Condensed milk

  • 8 oz. Cream cheese (softened)

Instructions
 

  • Makes 4-6 cups or jars depending on size.
  • Make the graham cracker layers by placing them in a food processor and blending until sand like texture. Add to a bowl and pour over melted butter. Still until combined. Set aside until ready to build the cups.
  • Using a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy cream. Whip together using a wire whip attachment or a hand electric mixer until the heavy cream starts to create peaks. Remove from the bowl and place in a second bowl in the refrigerator to keep cold.

  • Start to build the cups by adding a layer of graham cracker to the bottom of your glass cup or jar. 6-8 ounce cups or jars work the best. Carefully spoon or pipe the cream cheese over the graham cracker. Add a second layer of graham cracker and top with the cream cheese. Repeat for the al the cups until the ingredients are gone.
  • Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to serving for best results. If desired, top with whipped cream, lime zest or lime wedge when ready to enjoy!
