Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until thoroughly mixed. Divide this mixture evenly among individual serving cups, pressing it firmly into the bottom. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix in key lime juice and zest, if using.
  3. Gently fold whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Continue folding until there are no visible streaks and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Spoon the creamy filling into each cup, layering it generously on top of the prepared crust. Smooth the tops for even surface.
  5. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow filling to set.
  6. Before serving, add a dollop of additional whipped topping and sprinkle with lime zest for the perfect finishing touch.
