NO BAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE LIME CHEESECAKE

This No Bake White Chocolate Lime Cheesecake is a cross between a Key lime pie and a creamy, no bake cheesecake. The result? Your PERFECT summer dessert.

When I started imagining this No Bake White Chocolate Lime Cheesecake, I wanted it to be a cross between a sweet and tangy Key lime pie and a refreshing, light and creamy no bake cheesecake. I’m happy to report that it came out EXACTLY like I’d envisioned.

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST
2 cups (250g | 8.8oz) graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup (100g | 3.5oz) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (120g | 4.2oz) butter, melted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract, (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp lime zest*
1/4 tsp salt (I use Himalayan salt)
FOR THE CHEESECAKE FILLING
3- (227g | 8oz) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g | 3.5oz) granulated sugar
1 can (300ml | 397g | 14oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup (240ml | 8oz) whipping cream
1 cup (240ml) fresh lime juice*
2-3 tbsp lime zest*
1 cup (175g | 6.25oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
8 sheets gelatin (or 2 tbsp (11g) powdered gelatin)
FOR THE WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE
1-1/4 cup (220g | 7.7oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup (80ml) whipping cream
GARNISH
1 cup whipped cream
1 tbsp grated lime zest*
1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Start by zesting, then juicing 8 limes. I strongly recommend that you use a microplane zester and a 2 in 1 lime and lemon sqeezer. These tools will make your life a whole lot easier!
2. FOR THE CRUST
3. Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper. To do that, remove the ring and cover the bottom with parchment paper. Fold the excess paper back under the plate and, while holding it in place with one hand, put the ring back in its position with the other hand. Bring the excess paper back from under the pan but do not cut it off.
4. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt and about 2 tbsp of the lime zest in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined and press firmly at the bottom and about halfway up the side of the prepared pan. Set aside.
