Epicure recently added some new items to our catalog of products. You can expect the same level of quality in the ingredients, ease of preparation, and delicious taste. I was really excited to try this citrus lime no-bake cheesecake mix because I love cheesecake! This has easily become one of my favorite items from Epicure. It’s simple and easy to make and the results are fantastic. It only needs a couple of ingredients that you may already have in your refrigerator and pantry. I never have pie crusts on hand so, I had to make a trip to the store. I went to Aldi and they had everything I needed.
You will need a stand mixer or a hand mixer to make the cheesecake. I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
Ingredients: 8 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temperature Juice and Zest of 1 Lime 1 ½ cups of heavy whipping cream 1 9” prepared graham cracker crust or a prebaked pie shell Directions: Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat 1 softened block of cream cheese with the mix on medium-high until smooth.
Scrape the bowl; beat in juice (and zest, if desired) from one lime. Gradually add 1 ½ cups whipping cream, whipping until soft peaks are formed.
Fill the graham cracker pie shell and smooth the top.
Freeze for at least 2 hours until set. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Recipe Notes:
- Soften cream cheese on the counter for an hour before using.
- Use cold heavy whipping cream.
- I used a graham cracker crust, you can use whatever you prefer. My sister doesn’t like the graham cracker crust so the Shortbread crust would be better for her.
- I made whipped cream with the leftover whipping cream and decorated the top using a pastry bag. You can top it with any whipped topping you prefer.
- This can be made dairy-free.
- You can make 36 mini tarts by filling prebaked and cooled mini tart shells with the filling using a pastry bag.
- You could also substitute lemon for the lime for a different taste.
Taste Test
The cheesecake has a velvety texture and I think it tastes delicious. It’s cool and refreshing and has a tangy citrus flavor. I made it to take to my sister’s house for a small gathering and it was very well received. It’s a great summertime dessert or if you’re like me and love cheesecake, it’s a great anytime dessert. One serving has 9 grams of sugar and 270 calories. A serving is 1/12 of the pie, so watch out for that.
