No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake

Spring is here and we can’t get enough easy, no bake desserts! This Key Lime Cheesecake is simple, fruity, and creamy and is perfect for kicking off the next season of warmer weather. Made with a graham cracker crust, fresh lime juice and lime zest, and real cream, it is the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Great for those who don’t love desserts that are overly sweet or heavy!

How Do You Make No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake?

 We start with a simple no bake graham crumb crust. The trick to getting the perfect graham cracker crust is lots of butter, and a good long chill to help it set. Beat the cream cheese first — be sure to use room temperature cream cheese so that it beats up smoothly without any lumps! Add the lime juice, zest and sugar and beat until it’s smooth (don’t have key limes? Regular lime juice and zest will work the same, or you can substitute key lime juice for half lime and half lemon). Add the cold heavy cream (make sure it is heavy whipping cream), and beat on high until it’s thick and fluffy — don’t stop until it’s done! Chill for at least 5-6 hours or overnight — this is essential for cutting a clean slice!

Can I Make This Key Lime Cheesecake in advance?

This is a great dessert for making 1-2 days ahead. Simple cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before serving (any longer than this, and the crust may begin to become soggy). You can also freeze this recipe, but if you plan to freeze it I recommend eating it at partially frozen. As it thaws completely, the filling can release additional moisture which can make for a soggy crust.

I would suggest if you are having trouble reaching stiff peaks after adding the cold cream to the room temperature cream cheese mixture, mix the cream in enough to incorporate it and throw it into the fridge for about a half an hour and THEN whip it up to stiff peaks. I will be adding some melted and cooled gelatin to it and soft peak stage next time. Like I said, it has good flavor, but it needs a stabilizer. Thanks Ashley! Thanks Lynsey As for the taste, it isn’t a traditional Key West Key Lime Pie but for a cheesecake variant on that classic, it is simply amazing and so easy to make! This is now one of my “Go-to” desserts!! Thank you! Comment * Name * Email * Website
