Lime, Coconut and Finger Lime No Bake Cheesecake

Lime, Coconut and Finger Lime No Bake Cheesecake

Jun 28, 2025

We love homemade chilled cheesecake.  Lime, coconut and finger limes are a fantastic combination for cheesecakes. The biggest difficulty with this recipe was keeping the youngsters away from the finger limes. They adore them and when we weren't looking they were would take a cut finger lime and suck out all the citrus pearls. 

We love using finger limes in recipes. The pop of lime juice in your mouth as the skin around the finger lime pearl burst is a unique and delightful experience. Finger limes enhance the flavour of this cheesecake.
