Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  2. Press mixture firmly into the bottoms of lined muffin cups. Chill for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Mix in sour cream, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla until fully combined.
