For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lime zest to the graham cracker crust mixture. If you don't have shooter glasses, small clear cups or ramekins work just as well. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest just before serving for an elegant touch. For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese, but be mindful of the increased calorie count. Freshly squeezed Key lime juice will elevate the flavor profile compared to bottled juice. Adjust the amount of green food coloring according to your preferences for intensity of color.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCrumb Crust Preparation: In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. (5 minutes)
02
StepLayer the base: Evenly distribute about 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each of the ten 2-ounce shooter glasses, pressing lightly to form a compact base. (5 minutes)
03
StepCream Cheese Base: In a separate medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy. Set aside. (7 minutes)
04
StepKey Lime Infusion: In another bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and key lime juice until well combined. Gently fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly incorporated. (5 minutes)
05
StepDivide & Tint: Divide the cream cheese mixture in half. Tint one portion with a single drop of green food coloring for visual appeal, stirring until the color is uniform. (3 minutes)
06
StepPrepare for Layering: Transfer each portion of the mixture (the white and the green) into separate resealable plastic bags. Snip a small corner from each bag to create a makeshift piping bag. (3 minutes)
07
StepLayer the Desserts: Carefully pipe the white mixture into each shooter glass, filling it halfway. Gently tap each glass on the counter to level the filling. Repeat the process with the green cheesecake mixture, creating a layered effect. (10 minutes)
08
StepChill: Place the filled shooter glasses in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to set properly. (30 minutes)
