Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with foil liners, spraying them lightly with non-stick spray.
  2. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Melt butter or ghee and combine with crumbs to create a wet sand texture. Press this mixture into the muffin liners.
  3. Bake the crusts for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden, then let cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add Greek yogurt and sugar, mixing until smooth. Add egg, egg white, lime juice, and lime zest, blending until just combined.
  5. Spoon filling over the baked crusts, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 15–20 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
