Ingredients
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup bottled lime juice
- Zest of 1-2 limes
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and lime zest, beating until fully mixed together.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until you achieve a crumbly texture.
- Begin assembling your jars by layering the graham cracker crust on the bottom. Follow with a generous layer of the key lime filling. Repeat these layers until the jars are filled, ensuring you finish with a layer of cream on top.
- Cover each jar and refrigerate them for at least two hours to let those flavors meld and firm up.
- Right before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of lime zest on top for a gorgeous finish.
