No Bake Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar for refined sugar-free)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh key lime juice (or regular lime juice)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Whipped cream
  • Lime slices or zest
  • Crushed graham crackers (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions | Lime Cheesecakes

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  • Spoon the mixture into the bottom of a lined muffin tin or mini cheesecake molds. Press firmly with a spoon or the bottom of a glass to create a compact crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

2. Make the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and no lumps remain.

3. Assemble the Cheesecakes:

  • Remove the crusts from the refrigerator. Spoon the lime filling over the crusts, filling each mold or liner to the top. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the cheesecakes are firm and set.

4. Garnish and Serve:

  • Once set, remove the mini lime cheesecakes from the moulds. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of lime zest, or a small slice of lime. Serve chilled.

Serving Suggestions

  • With Fresh Berries: Add raspberries or strawberries for a fruity contrast.
  • As a Party Dessert: Serve on a platter for a visually appealing presentation.
  • For a Low-Carb Option: Use almond flour for the crust and a sugar-free sweetener in the filling.

Tips for Success

  • Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Fresh Key Limes: Fresh lime juice gives the best flavor, but bottled lime juice works in a pinch.
  • Chill Time: Allow enough time for the cheesecakes to set properly for the best texture.

These No-Bake Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes are the ultimate dessert for any occasion. With their tangy, creamy flavour and simple preparation, they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
