Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, condensed milk, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until smooth and thick and the beaters leave a ribbon when lifted out of the bowl, 3-4 minutes. Using a flexible spatula, fold in the key lime juice and ½ teaspoon key lime zest until just combined.
- Place the jars on a baking sheet. Spoon 2 scant tablespoons of the crumb mixture into each jar. Reserve the remaining crumbs. Press down firmly on the crumbs in the jars to form a packed, even layer.
- Divide the filling evenly between the jars, about ¼ cup (25 G) per jar. Cover the jars with the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
- In a medium bowl, whip the remaining ⅓ cup (80 ML) heavy cream and the powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
- When ready to serve, top each jar with a dollop of whipped cream, the remaining cookie crumbs, and the remaining ½ teaspoon lime zest. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

KEY LIME CHEESE BALL
Prep time does include the 2 hour refrigeration time. This is a fabulous recipe that I adapted from a key lime cheesecake recipe so I could serve a key lime cheese ball. NO more using that icky key lime powdered mix or jell-o! I serve cinnamon graham crackers, croissant and pound cake with this lovely creation. I have also served oven baked flour tortillas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, then brush with melted butter. Place pan in the freezer until needed.
- Cream butter for crust in a bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in flour, brown sugar, and salt. If mixture does not hold together, knead it on a work surface. Place mounds of the mixture in the cold baking pan; press with your fingers to smooth it into a firm layer on the bottom.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly colored, about 18 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, prepare lime layer: pour 2 tablespoons regular lime juice into a small bowl. Discard any extra, or reserve for another use. Add lime zest and Key lime juice; mix to combine.
- Combine sugar, eggs, flour, and baking powder in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer at high speed for 1 minute. Stir in lime zest-juice mixture and food coloring.
- Remove crust from the oven and immediately pour lime mixture over top. Return to the oven and bake until top is light colored and custardy, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes. Move to the freezer and chill for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and cut into 16 squares. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top.

Tips:
- Use ripe key limes for the best flavor. Key limes are typically smaller and have a more intense flavor than regular limes.
- If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes. Just add a little extra lime zest to the recipe to compensate for the lack of flavor.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before using. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Chill the pie balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them set and firm up.
- Garnish the pie balls with whipped cream, lime zest, or crushed graham crackers before serving.
Conclusion:
These key lime pie balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy snack, give these key lime pie balls a try!
