Key Lime Curd Cheesecakes Recipe by Sweet2EatBaking.com

These Key Lime Cheesecakes are super quick and easy no bake dessert. With key lime curd and zest, these key lime cheesecakes recipe are perfect to enjoy this summer.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute

Ingredients

Crust

  • 14g (1 tbsp) butter
  • 60g (½ cup, packed) digestive biscuits (graham crackers) crumbs

Cheesecake filling

  • 2 medium eggs
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 90g (⅓ heaped cup or 6 tbsp) cream cheese
  • 60g (4 tbsp) sour cream
  • 90g (6 tbsp) granulated sugar
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cornflour (cornstarch)

Topping

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe cup or mug, melt the butter for 10-20 seconds, or until fully melted.
  2. Crush the digestive biscuits (graham crackers) using either a food processor or in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin. Add the butter to the crumbs, divide evenly into two microwave safe jars (or ramekins) and press into the bottom. I found this easier using the bottom of a extract bottle for slim mouthed jars.
  3. In another medium bowl, add the eggs, vanilla extract, cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, salt, and cornflour (cornstarch). Whisk gently until smooth then spoon or pour the mixture evenly into both jars.
  4. Cook in the microwave for 30 second bursts, alternating between jars, for 1 minute 30 seconds. For example, pop first jar in microwave for 30 seconds, remove then pop the second jar in for 30 seconds, then return back to the first jar again and repeating for 3x 30 second bursts between jars.
  5. Once cooked, allow to cool to room temperature before topping with the key lime curd. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. If desired, top with a little key lime or regular lime zest. Serve chilled.

Notes

Notes:

  • You will need two microwave safe 350ml (1½ cups) sized jars or ramekins for this recipe.

    Looks like this summer dessert cooled you off and I sure hope you have a change to go outside (minus the heat and humidity) to enjoy at least one book. You're photos are so good, I feel like I should be able to reach in and take a bite...I will have to make this as I love anything lemon or lime!
