Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter, stirring until well blended. Press into the bottom of each serving cup to create a sturdy base.
  2. Make the Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, add powdered sugar, then mix in key lime juice and optional zest until creamy and well blended.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in whipped topping until no streaks remain, retaining the fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble Cups: Spoon the filling over the crust in each cup, smoothing the tops for a clean finish.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove wraps, optionally top with additional whipped topping and lime zest, and serve immediately.
