MINI NO-BAKE KEY LIME CHEESECAKES — These smooth and creamy no-bake cheesecakes are bursting with key lime flavor, and so easy to make!
These tasty (and adorable) little no-bake key lime cheesecakes are a perfect dessert to serve all spring and summer long! They're especially great for Mother's Day, or even Saint Patrick's Day. Everyone who tries these cheesecakes loves them.
They're a big favorite of my husband, who is a huge fan of cheesecake and key lime pie. And who isn't, really?
These are amazing! Very quick to make, 15-20 minutes. Great for when want that little extra something sweet after a meal or just have a craving. Would recommend to everyone! ~ Darla
I love that these can be made ahead and pulled out of the freezer just before serving. Which makes these the perfect dessert for entertaining–the more you can prep ahead, the more time you can spend with your guests.
And the individual serving sizes help with portion control too–at least in theory.
These do start to soften up pretty quickly once you remove them from the freezer, so I don't recommend taking them out more than 15 minutes before serving.
You can make these cheesecakes in a muffin tin lined with paper liners, but I really like serving them in small Mason jars. You'll use more filling per cheesecake, so the recipe won't yield as many servings, but it makes for a great presentation!
Wow! we just made these to bring to a New Year's Eve party and we couldn't stop licking the bowl! Totally takes us back to Key West! ~ Kim
I can get 12 desserts using a lined muffin tin, and 8-10 with mini mason jars. If you go with the muffin tin, just remove the liners before you serve the cheesecakes.
If you can't find key lime juice, you can use regular lime juice in this recipe. I'd just suggest adding more lime zest, since regular limes aren't as tart as key limes. Either way, it's going to be delicious!

Delicious! I made a gluten free version for my mom. I used the gluten-free ginger snaps from Trader Joe's for the crust. ~ Tammy
