ThermoFun – Wicked Wednesday – No Bake Lime Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
Base
- 250g plain biscuits (I used Marie)
- 125g butter, cubed, softened
Filling
- 370g cream cheese (room temp. – this is very important!)
- 400g condensed milk
- 250g thickened cream
- 75g lime juice
- lime zest
Instructions
- Place peel of lime into TM bowl and zest 5 sec / speed 9.
Tip: if you have a microplane this will make the zest more fine which I prefer for this recipe. Set aside. - Place biscuits and butter into TM bowl and chop 10 sec / speed 10. Scrape down and repeat.
- Press biscuit mix firmly into lined spring form tin. Place tin into fridge while preparing the cheesecake mixture.
- Place cream cheese into TM bowl and mix 10 sec / speed 8. Scrape down and repeat.
- Add condensed milk and cream and mix 10 sec / speed 7. Scrape down and repeat.
- Add juice and mix 15 sec / speed 4.
NB: the juice needs to be added last. The reaction of the citrus juice will start to set your mixture almost immediately. - With aid of spatula scrape down and ensure all is mixed well.
- Immediately pour mixture on top of biscuit base, sprinkle zest on top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Best served straight from fridge.
Notes
Lemon can be substituted for the lime.
Do NOT try and use orange - it doesn't work! Trust me!

Janice says
This is my favourite cheesecake recipe! Everybody loves it and it so simple
thermofun says
Thank you Janice. A big favourite here too!
Dani says
Hi,
If thickened cream is unavailable, only whipping cream, should it be whipped first before adding to the mixture?
Thanks
thermofun says
Hi Dani, no you won't need to whip it. Enjoy! :)
Louise says
I made with ginger nut biscuits. So delicious with the addition of the ginger flavour
thermofun says
That's a great idea Louise! I'll look forward to trying it with ginger nuts. Thank you!
Sarina says
Just out of curiosity could you make the base using buttersnaps biscuits as opposed to plain ones ?
Thanks
thermofun says
Hi Sarina, yes absolutely! :)
Gwenda Littlewood says
Can you freeze this cheesecake?
thermofun says
I don't think I have frozen this particular one Gwenda - but I have frozen many others successfully. I'm sure it would be fine! :)
Christine Harris says
I have been making this cheesecake for 50 years! It used to be on the Condensed Milk tin. But without the thickened cream! It thickens beautifully with the juice of three very yellow (no green to be seen) lemons but you must copletely combine the cream cheese and the condensed milk before you touch the lemon juice. Once that goes in it starts to thicken and set immediately. All other ingredients are as per the post. And yes, in recent years I have been making it in my Thermie.
Xmas isn't Xmas in our house without Mum's cheesecake!!!
thermofun says
Thank you Christine, it is one of our favourites too! :)
Voula says
Simple and so delicious. I have made this so many times now. Thank you for sharing. I add coconut to the base for a lime / coconut and sprinkle top with toasted coconut and lime zest. I love both the versions.
thermofun says
Thanks Voula - I love your tweaks too! :)
Amanda says
Made this for a special dinner with my mum and my childhood neighbour who I hadn't seen for over 30 years, just delicious! Thank you for an amazingly simple but delicious recipe Leonie :-)
