Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until crumbs resemble wet sand. Press into serving cups to form a compact crust.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then stir in key lime juice and optional lime zest until smooth.
  3. Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold whipped topping into cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  4. Assemble the Cups: Spoon filling over the crust in each cup, smoothing out the filling evenly.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Add whipped topping and optional fresh fruit or chocolate shavings before serving.
