Ingredients

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup butter (melted)
12 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sour cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 drop green food coloring (optional)
whipped topping, for topping (optional)
lime slices, for topping (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place muffin liners in 18 regular size muffin tins.
In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Place a spoonful of mixture into the bottom of each muffin tin liner. Press down gently to even.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together filling ingredients until smooth. Pour the filling into each muffin tin cup.
Bake for 20-23 minutes, until the cheesecakes start to puff up. The centers of the cheesecakes will start to firm and the tops of the cheesecakes will start to crack.
Remove from the oven and let cool. Refrigerate for an hour before serving.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and lime slices (optional).
