When Martha Bakes..Every One Listens!
No Bake Cheesecake? How cool! Literally.
I love the taste of cheesecake, but it can be so heavy and overwhelming. Adding in citrus really lightens up the flavor and the fact that this is a no bake treat makes it nice. Really, who wants to heat up the house during the summer months.
When we lived in the Midwest I noticed that the older farm houses had a “summer kitchen”. It was a small outbuilding next to the house that had a stove and storage. It was where the canning, cooking, and baking took place during the summer months, especially when the harvest was plentiful.
Coming from CA, I thought that seemed odd, but when the temperature and the humidity started rising to a sweltering level I understood the wisdom.
Being able to make anything without having to heat up the house was a huge benefit.
Here is what Martha says about her no-bake Key Lime Cheesecake.
This airy, mousse-like treat blends the tartness of Key lime pie with the richness of cheesecake. Its graham-cracker crust sets in the freezer rather than the oven, and the traditional whipped-cream topping is folded right into the filling, along with fresh citrus juice and zest, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. Chill it overnight, and wake up to a world of bliss.

Quick Tip: If you do not have key limes available, go ahead and replace with regular limes. The taste will be a bit different but will still be amazing.
