Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325ºF (160ºC) and line 12 muffin tins with foil liners; lightly grease them.
  2. In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly mixed. Press mixture into muffin liners and bake for about 8-10 minutes until golden.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually mix in Greek yogurt and sugar until smooth without lumps.
  4. Add egg, egg white, lime juice, and lime zest; mix until just combined to avoid overbeating.
  5. Evenly distribute the cheesecake batter over each cooled crust.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
