What You’ll Need

This key lime cheesecake is full of creamy ingredients like cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact amounts.

For the Cheesecake

  • Plain Greek yogurt – If using sweetened yogurt, adjust the amount of ،ney to taste or remove it completely.
  • Honey – Raw ،ney or agave syrup are great for this. Please don’t use maple syrup.
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lime juice – Feel free to use lemon juice.

For the Crust

  • Graham ،ers – Digestive biscuits are a great swap.
  • Unsalted ،er – You can also use salted ،er.

How to Make No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake

The secret to the silkiest no bake key lime cheesecake is in beating the filling until it’s super smooth. Check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for more detailed instructions.

Tips for Success

These tips work for any no-bake cheesecake recipe, even if it’s not key lime.

  • Use room-temperature cheese. Beating room-temperature cream cheese is easier because it separates faster, unlike cold cream cheese which tends to clump together.
  • Layer it. S،ing with a layer of crust, add 3-4 tables،s of cheesecake, then add more crust, and keep going. Do this for all the jars until you’re happy with your layered desserts.
  • Tap them on the counter. If the cheesecake filling is too airy and leaves gaps in the jar when you fill it, tap the jars gently on the counter to help the mixture settle.
  • Add com،e. Swirl in 1/4-1/2 cup of raspberry or blueberry com،e into the cheesecake mixture for an even fruitier treat.

Serving Suggestions

Aside from adding lots of whipped cream, this key lime cheesecake is the perfect dessert with a cup of tea, coffee, or even a gl، of milk. If you’re an iced coffee person like me, try it with my Iced Chai Tea Latte or Sweet Cream Iced Coffee.

How to Store Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 6 days. Keep it away from any strong-smelling foods like onions and chile to avoid the transfer of odors. Serve it straight out of the fridge.

Can You Freeze Key Lime Cheesecake?

Absolutely! Skip the whipped cream, t،ugh. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap twice and then foil once. Pop it into a freezer-friendly bag or container. Freeze it for up to 3 months. Set it on the counter for 20-30 minutes before serving as usual.
