Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cheesecake Base

Start by blending the cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Make sure there are no lumps left.

Next, add the sweetened condensed milk into the mixture and stir well until fully combined. It's important that both ingredients are well integrated for a nice texture.

Gradually pour in the lime juice, mixing continuously. Aim for a smooth and homogenous mixture, free of any lumps.

Step 2

Incorporate the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches medium peaks. This should take a couple minutes with a hand or stand mixer.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful to preserve the light and airy texture of the whipped cream by using a spatula and folding in a circular motion.

If desired, add some lime zest into the mixture for extra flavor, and mix again gently.

Step 3

Assemble and Chill

Using a piping bag, carefully fill your serving glasses with the cheesecake mixture. This step will help achieve a beautiful presentation in your glass.

Finally, garnish the top of each dessert with additional lime zest for decoration. It adds a lovely visual appeal and enhances the refreshing lime flavor.

Place the filled glasses in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Faq

  • What can I use if I don't have a piping bag?

    You can always use a plastic sandwich bag—just cut a small hole in one corner, and use that as a makeshift piping bag!

  • How can I know if my cream is whipped enough?

    You’re looking for soft peaks where the cream holds its shape but isn’t too stiff. This texture helps in blending smoothly with the cheesecake mix.

  • Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?

    While fresh lime juice gives the best flavor, bottled lime juice can work in a pinch. Just make sure it’s 100% lime juice without additives!

  • How long can I store this cheesecake in the fridge?

    It can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. Just cover it well to keep it fresh!

  • Can I freeze the lime cheesecake?

    Yes! You can freeze it for up to a month. Just make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent any freezer burn.

  • What’s the best way to serve the cheesecake after freezing?

    Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving to maintain its texture and creaminess!
