No-bake cheesecakes, which use gelatin to set them firm, can be a dubious affair. We set out to create an icebox cheesecake with a supple, creamy texture and great flavor, too.

Buy a premade crust instead of baking one.
Can't wait to make this one! BTW, your hair looks awesome!! Thanks for the recipe.
Can't wait to try this! Thanks much!
I thought it was against usda regulations to make a refrigerator dessert without a can of sweetened condensed milk….this is fantastic!
It makes a difference to approximate the Key lime flavor to use ripe limes rather than than darker green ones [what I call “bar” limes].
Do you think that the dairy could be swapped with whipped coconut cream?
If you’re not using Key limes, it’s not Key Lime anything. They’re a totally different fruit.
Can this be made with agar agar instead of gelatin? Some of us are lacto-vegetarians
Press and seal not cling wrap …
You make it look so easy. I'm going yo try it.
Thank you for all your little hints!!
Don't wanna be nitpicky, but if you need to bake the crust, it's not a "no-bake" cake. its a "little-bit-of-baking" cake 😀
Making that this week!
Amen
You can buy bottled Key lime juice if fresh Key limes are not available. Persian limes are completely DIFFERENT from Key limes. The flavours are not the same at all.
– "No bake"
– "Bake for 13min"
Yes. Thats a no-bake aight.
Thank you.
Love cheese cake and that one looks amazing .Do you have a vegan version
Thats looks delish!! 💙💙💙
Put the lime in the coke u nut and mix it all up!
I'm glad to see this, because my ancient icebox cheesecake incorporated egg whites, so I haven't felt able to make it since the safety of eggs got so dicey!
Animal crackers can be replaced with what other ingredients? Can’t find them in Quebec
I have a similar recipe (more cream cheese and lime juice) but the biggest difference is using ginger snaps instead of the animal crackers, and not baking the crust. The ginger snaps actually add to the flavor instead of being rather bland.
This looks great. I'm going to pie a whipped cream border around the edge of the cake, then fill it with lime curd before serving.
