No Bake Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes

Aug 28, 2013

This is one of the best desserts I have ever made, hands down. It was super easy and no baking required.  Matt and I could not stop stuffing our faces with these tasty little treats.  Added bonus they look really professional, right?  I was impressed with myself for whipping these together, but truth is it was easy!   If you love Key Lime Pie you will absolutely adore this dessert.  They can be made ahead of time and kept in the freezer.  Just take them out and put them in the fridge about an hour before you want to serve them.  Try and eat just one, I dare you!
