Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake is the perfect ending to any meal not only is it a no-bake dessert. In fact, it is also dairy-free. Subsequently, this sweet and tart dessert will have you craving 3rds and 4ths. By the way, the almond flour gives the crust a nice bit of texture while the powdered vanilla monk fruit sweetener gives it a nice hint of vanilla. Not to mention, that this dessert would be the perfect accompaniment to any springtime, St. Patrick’s Day, or Easter dinner, or anytime. Incidentally, many recipes in Sweden use powdered vanilla sugar. As a matter of fact, it has always been in my pantry. Find my recipe for Powdered Vanilla Monk Fruit Sweetener here. Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake

Vegan Key LIme Cheesecake:

Once you have made the crust allow it to cool. Next, make the cheesecake portion and simply pour it onto the crust, and refrigerate. Indeed this is my version of a recipe that was given to me by my husband’s aunt which I have recreated to be dairy-free.

Since my children have a hard time with dairy and love key lime dessert, I wanted to be able to make it so they too could enjoy this sweet and tart spring and summer dessert.

In fact, every time I make Vegan Key Lime Cheesecake it disappears in no time flat with the request that I make another one. In all honesty, the thing that takes the longest to make is the sweetened condensed coconut milk. Therefore, I make the sweetened condensed coconut milk (which by the way is also refined sugar-free) a day or two before.

Cassava Flour Information and Monk Fruit Information are available to peruse if you have never heard of these products. Cassava Flour, Almond Flour, Monk Fruit Sweetener, Coconut oil, canned unsweetened coconut milk, maple sugar, and pure vanilla are indeed all found at Amazon.

Key Lime Juice VS Lime Juice:

What is key lime? Key Limes are very tiny and small (about 1 1/2 inches) but pack a sweeter punch. Indeed, they tend to have a more floral flavor. Not to mention, Key Limes tend to be lighter in color.  Persian Limes are much larger and tend to be more acidic. Therefore it is worth the time to juice about 20 Key Limes. Or purchase Key Lime juice from the store. Of course, regular lime juice can be used it will have an effect on the flavor. Persian Limes are the larger variety of lime sold in stores.

Dairy-Free Key Lime Filling:

Needless to say, it will take a little time to make my sweetened condensed coconut milk it is worth it. In fact, the Condensed Milk can even be made a day or two in advance. Then simply pour it in on the day you make the Cheesecake. Above all, use Full-Fat unsweetened Coconut Milk. In the event, that powdered monkfruit can not be found simply use my recipe to turn Monk-Fruit into Powdered Monk-Fruit. In conclusion, I highly suggest Kite Hill Cream Cheese create a vegan and Diary-Free Cheesecake. However, if you are familiar with another brand that is tasty use that in its place. I would appreciate you tagging #larenascorner in your photos if you make this recipe. Let me know what you think.

Keep in mind I tend to cut small pieces of cheesecake. They of course can be cut into large or small pieces. Nutritional Facts are approximate depending on the size of the piece.

Personal Notes:

Incidentally, I have been suffering from insomnia barely getting 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Is, therefore, I am asking for prayers for restful and a full 8-hour sleep per night. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hopefully, if you are going through a difficult time I highly encourage you to reach out to someone. Because there is no one else in the who universe that is like you. May you find beauty in everything you see and do.
