Southern Living Gourmet Cheesecake Mix, No Bake Cheesecake Cake Mix, Key Lime Cheesecake , Rich, Creamy, Moist and Fluffy Whipped Topping

When I saw this cheesecake mix I thought it sounded absolutely delicious. I've had plenty of key lime pies in my lifetime and this is a whole other level of amazing. Instead of making a key lime pie with condensed milk and key lime juice, you instead make a cheesecake with cream cheese and this mix. Just make sure you take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator so it can soften a bit. To be honest I went all out with this dessert. I made a homemade crust with 9 crushed graham cracker full sheets (18 crackers) - which is exactly 1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs, plus I mixed in 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar and 1/3 cup melted salted butter. I pressed that into a glass pie dish with the back of a dessert spoon and then baked it at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. While the pie crust was cooling nicely on top of the stovetop I went ahead and whipped 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until peaks formed and it was nice and creamy. I then added in 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar which is just powdered sugar. I set this aside. This I made in place of the whipped topping because I thought it would taste way better and I can't find a whipped topping without palm oil in it, which I'm allergic to these days. Then in a large bowl I beat the two packages of cream cheese until softened a few minutes. Then added in the package that arrives in this box (powdered sugar, cornstarch, brown sugar and flavoring) and beat until nice and mixed up. Then I added in 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar) because I felt the lime flavor was pretty strong and needed some sweetness to balance it out. Then I folded and mixed in the whipped cream. It can take some doing sort of cutting into the cream cheese and folding alternately. Don't be afraid to really work it into the cream cheese. I use a spatula that is also shaped like a spoon. Then I put the filling into the pie crust, put a slice of lime on top and covered it with a plastic wrap that seals on the edges. I left the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 3 hours which was perfect. Oh My when you taste this you are never going to want to live without it again! It is absolutely irresistible, creamy, dreamy key lime cheesecake. I've never tasted anything key lime this delicious. So well worth the effort and price. It saves a lot of time not having to squeeze key limes if you could even get them where you live! Sometimes I can find the juice in a bottle but that isn't fresh squeezed. This has a fresh flavor that is perfect. Yes, I did have to add a little more confectioner's sugar as indicated in my recipe but it was perfect. I will definitely make this again! ~The Rebecca Review

These are AMAZING! Sent a box to my Sister-in-law They loved this lime cheese cake mix also

I followed directions to make the dip but it wasn’t dippable. Worked great as a pie filling. Had a great taste and wasn’t overly sweet.

FYI This is just the powder to mix in with the other ingredients that you have to buy. The taste is delicious. Tart just like Key Lime should be. I've actually ordered this 6 times and I plan on ordering it again. The price could be a little cheaper since it's just a powder but it's worth it. I've recommend this to other people who have tried the finished product and really liked it as well. I've tried other no bake mixes but they didn't taste as good. I highly recommend this if you're looking for a good Key Lime Cheesecake that is very easy to make.

Beware. When I saw the tiny box I suspected. When I read the ingredient list I knew. This product is just a small amount of flavored sugar. THAT'S IT. Amazon-you make me sad.
