I love cheesecake. Everybody loves cheesecake, I think?

And there are so many varieties for it. A few months ago I made Oreo-cheesecake and it was deliciouuuus. Triple cheesecake was another creation I tried out and approved! This time we wanted something lighter and more bite-sized. So this recipe called for a key-lime as a main ingredient. And although I checked three different places, I couldn’t find one and I had to settle for normal limes. I have never had key-limes but it worked just fine with normal limes. So please have a look at the recipe and maybe even try it out! Let me know what you think!

I found the recipe myself @foodtasia. So thank you for that!!
