They’re a big favorite of my husband, who is a huge fan of cheesecake and key lime pie. And who isn’t, really?

I love that these can be made ahead and pulled out of the freezer just before serving. Which makes these the perfect dessert for entertaining–the more you can prep ahead, the more time you can spend with your guests.

And the individual serving sizes help with portion control too–at least in theory.

Mini No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecakes

These do start to soften up pretty quickly once you remove them from the freezer, so I don’t recommend taking them out more than 15 minutes before serving.

You can make these cheesecakes in a muffin tin lined with paper liners, but I really like serving them in small Mason jars. You’ll use more filling per cheesecake, so the recipe won’t yield as many servings, but it makes for a great presentation!

I can get 12 desserts using a lined muffin tin, and 8-10 with mini mason jars. If you go with the muffin tin, just remove the liners before you serve the cheesecakes.

If you can’t find key lime juice, you can use regular lime juice in this recipe. I’d just suggest adding more lime zest, since regular limes aren’t as tart as key limes. Either way, it’s going to be delicious!
