Ingredients
Crust:
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp butter melted
Key Lime Cheesecake:
4 oz light cream cheese softened
1 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons key lime zest 4 key limes
1 tablespoon key lime juice 2 key limes
1 teaspoon vanilla
optional green food coloring
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Line a standard-sized muffin pan with 9 muffin papers. Melt the butter, and stir in the sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Divide evenly amongst the 9 muffin papers, pressing gently into the bottoms using your fingers or a spoon. In a large bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt, sugar, egg, key lime zest and juice, and vanilla. Beat for a few minutes until completely incorporated. *Optional* Add one drop of green food coloring and blend until color is even. Spoon about 1.5-2 tablespoons of filling over the muffin papers or until all the batter is used. Bake in the oven for 25 or so minutes, until centers are set (they may have a very slight jiggle still). Allow to cool completely, then place in the fridge and chill.
