Ingredients

⅔ cup crushed graham crackers (4 full crackers)
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons key lime juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup powdered sugar
2 cups frozen light whipped topping, thawed

Preparation

  1. Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a small bowl. Divide the mixture among eight 4-oz. jars, pressing lightly with the back of a spoon.

  3. Transfer the filling to a heavy sealable plastic bag. Snip a 1-inch hole in a bottom corner of the bag and pipe the filling into the jars. Top each with several lime slices.
  4. Put on the lids. Tote the jars with an ice pack or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
