Zesty Lime Mousse Cheesecake Delight: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic Dessert

Serve this cheesecake chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow the cheesecake to come to a slightly cooler temperature before serving for the best consistency.
This dessert can also be frozen. Freeze individual slices for easy servings later, and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Variations
Add a Fruit Topping: Fresh berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, pair beautifully with the zesty lime flavor.
Coconut Lime Cheesecake: Add 1/4 cup of shredded coconut to the crust or mix some into the mousse for a tropical twist.
Lemon Twist: For a different citrus flavor, substitute lemon juice and zest for lime in both the cheesecake and mousse layers.
FAQ
1. Can I make this cheesecake without gelatin?
Yes, gelatin is optional. If you prefer a lighter, fluffier mousse, you can skip the gelatin. The mousse will still set nicely in the fridge without it.

2. How can I make this dessert dairy-free?
To make this dessert dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free cream cheese alternative, the heavy cream with coconut cream or another dairy-free whipped cream, and use dairy-free butter in the crust.

3. Can I make this in individual servings?
Yes! You can make this recipe in individual serving glasses or mini tart pans. Just be sure to adjust the chilling time for smaller portions.

4. Can I use bottled lime juice instead of fresh?
Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor, but bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch. Fresh lime zest is also recommended for the best flavor.
