Key Lime Cheesecake Fool

Don't forget it's April 1st, it's easy to be fooled. I would say it's exceptionally easy to be fooled when the weather forecast is calling for snow, that might be the biggest prank we see all day. If you find yourself being fooled, I recommend a little Key Lime Cheesecake Fool to brighten your spirits. This one is so easy, any fool could make them. I added some graham crackers for dunking, but you could crush them up and add them directly to the dessert, of course it would no longer be a fool. Crushed cookies added to a fool is technically a Mess. A fool or a mess, or how about a foolish mess? Does it really matter, as long as it tastes good? These definitely do. 
I tried these both immediately after making them and then again after they had time to sit in the fridge. Eating them immediately gives you a much lighter dessert, the consistency of whipped cream. Making them ahead and letting them set up in the fridge allows the whipped cheesecake part to set up, making it more the texture of a soft cheesecake. If you are going with the latter method, don't mix in the graham cracker crumbs as they will get very soggy if allowed to sit in the mixture for too long. 
I did prefer them after they had some time to sit. They really great both ways, but I preferred the texture after waiting. You all know how much I hate to wait to eat dessert!
Have any good practical jokes planned for today? Let me in on the secret. I won't tell. Happy April!
