Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh key lime juice
  • Optional: a drop of green food coloring

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Garnishes

  • Whipped cream
  • Lime zest
  • Extra graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of this crust mixture into the bottom of each 2-ounce shooter glass, then press down lightly to form a compact crust base.
  2. Mixing the Creamy Filling: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, stir the fat-free sweetened condensed milk and fresh key lime juice until thoroughly combined. Gradually add this lime mixture to the cream cheese blend, continuing to beat until the filling is smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Assembling the Mini Desserts: Divide the filling into two equal portions. If desired, add a drop of green food coloring to one portion and mix well to create a two-tone effect. Using a piping bag, pipe the uncolored white mixture halfway into each shooter glass over the crust, tapping the glasses gently to level the filling. Then, pipe the green colored mixture on top of the white layer, filling each glass nearly to the top.
  4. Chilling and Garnishing: Place the prepared mini desserts in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set. Once chilled, garnish each mini dessert with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of lime zest, and a few extra graham cracker crumbs to add texture and a decorative finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh key lime juice for the best authentic flavor.
  • Press the crust firmly but gently to avoid cracking when serving.
  • Chill for longer if you prefer a firmer texture.
  • These mini desserts are perfect for parties or as a light treat after meals.
  • To make ahead, assemble and chill overnight and garnish just before serving.
