Mini Key Lime Cheesecakes Recipes

Steps:

• Prep Muffin pan by placing 1 liner in each muffin cup and then add 1 vanilla wafer. Set aside. Squeeze the juice from 1 lime. Mix softened cream cheese, sugar and fresh lime together w/hand mixer on low, until well blended. Taste the mixture to determine if there is enough lime flavor to your liking, you may need to add 1 teaspoon more of fresh lime juice. Gently with a cake spatula fold in the tub of cool whip until all mixed in. Fill the lined muffin pans to the top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Remove from fridge and remove cheesecakes from pan you can repeat if you have leftover mix. Remove liners from the cakes and place on serving dish add dollop of Reddi-whip and thin slice of lime. I usually cut lime in half it looks better. Then serve! If you aren't ready to serve you can still remove cheesecake from pan leaving liners on and wait until serving to remove liners and decorate!

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray the bottoms of 24 cupcake-size silicon molds with cooking spray (or two 12-cup muffin pans) and place them on a baking sheet.
• To make the crust, in a small mixing bowl, stir together the crumbs, sugar and melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each mold. Set aside.
• For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sugar, lime zest, lime juice, cornstarch and vanilla and beat until smooth.
• Pour the filling into the prepared crusts. Bake until the tops are lightly brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, to make the sauce, process the raspberries, sugar and lime zest in a food processor or blender until smooth. Chill for at least 1 hour before drizzling over the cheesecake and serving.
