These pretty little cheesecake tarts offer big, bright flavor in a bite-sized package. Key limes are worth seeking out for this recipe—their unique flavor is more tart than traditional and widely-available Persian limes—and the results are worth it. If you can’t find them, you can substitute Persian limes. We’ve used a mix of low-fat cream cheese and a little Greek yogurt to create the cheesecake, which is flavored with both lime zest and juice. It’s poured on a homemade graham cracker crust before going into the oven. The hardest part will be waiting for these cheesecakes to cool before adding on the whipped topping and additional zest.
