Description
A refreshing and easy-to-make dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling and zesty lime flavor, topped with fresh kiwi slices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 cup heavy cream, cold
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 fresh kiwis, sliced for topping
- Optional: mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Divide the mixture among serving glasses, pressing it down gently to form an even layer at the bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest, mixing until well combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust in each glass, filling them about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Just before serving, top each cheesecake cup with fresh kiwi slices and a sprinkle of lime zest. If desired, add a mint leaf for an extra touch of color.
Notes
- Store the cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- These cups can be frozen for up to a month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- For a more intense lime flavor, increase the lime zest and juice.
