For a sweet treat with minimal time and effort- this super simple key lime coconut cheesecake will always hit the spot!
When it comes to dessert, cream cheese is one of my favorite ingredients! I mean, carrot cake just would not be the same without the cream cheese frosting. You can use it to kick brownies up a notch or as a base for dips- both sweet and savory! Cream cheese can easily be used in a variety of ways.
So, when you want a sweet treat, but don’t feel like baking…I’ve got the solution for you! This no-bake cheesecake is made with just a mixing bowl and a mixer- absolutely no cooking required. Plus, there is tons of flavor with only a few simple ingredients!
And once the cream cheese is softened (try one of these tricks to help soften cream cheese), this recipe will be ready in 5 minutes or less!
Then, simply pipe, spoon, or dip- it’s up to you!

Don’t like coconut or lime?!?
No problem! Simply use a different Greek yogurt and substitute the lime juice for orange juice or even milk/cream. The door was just opened to SO many flavor opportunities!
Time to step inside.

Do I need to use key limes?
Of course not! They tend to be the best; however, I cannot usually find them at my local grocery store. Also, they produce much less juice than other limes. Any lime juice will do, but fresh is always best!
