Description
Delightful no-bake key lime cheesecake bites that are creamy, zesty, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup key lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar, followed by the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a lined muffin tin, forming a solid crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, key lime juice, and vanilla extract while mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the whipped cream: Carefully introduce the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using the rubber spatula, folding gently until the filling is airy and fluffy.
- Assemble the bites: Spoon the luscious key lime mixture onto your prepared crust in the muffin tin. Fill each cup generously and smooth the tops with the spatula.
- Refrigerate: Allow your cheesecake bites to chill in the fridge for at least 120 minutes until set. This is when the magic happens!
- Serve chilled: When you’re ready to indulge, take them out of the fridge, serve chilled, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavor with every mouthful.
Notes
These cheesecake bites keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for prepping ahead of time. Consider topping them with fresh fruit or a drizzle of chocolate.
