Learn how to make delicious No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon key lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

If you can’t find key limes, regular limes will work as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly less intense.

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use a glass to smooth out the surface. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the sweetened condensed milk, fresh key lime juice, key lime zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  6. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.
  8. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
  9. Once set, run a knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform. Garnish with additional lime zest or slices if desired.
