A simple, no bake Key Lime Cheesecake that is sweet, tangy, creamy, and luscious, perfect for spring or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream (30-35% fat)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of tartlet pans or a tartlet pan to form the crust.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy to avoid lumps.
  3. Add sugar, lime juice, and lime zest to the cream cheese and beat until smooth and fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crusts.
  7. Chill the tartlets in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set properly before serving.

Notes

Chilling the tartlets for at least 6 hours is crucial for the filling to set properly. This dessert can be made 1-2 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. For freezing, thaw in the fridge on a cooling rack to avoid soggy crust.
