    Other Uses for this Lime Cheesecake Filling?

    Make a delicious trifle or parfait desserts layering with Oreo cookies or graham cracker crumbles, fresh fruits, like raspberries or strawberries, a white sponge cake or angel food cake, whipped cream (always).  Basically, anything that would pair with a lime cheesecake filling works and it's so refreshing for summer!

    Go Crust-less and eat the filling as is, topped with some whipped cream!  Seriously, how simple is that?  I would let it set up for at least an hour before serving either in one bowl or single servings!  Bowl and spoon please!! 

    Use this filling with other pie crust options like Oreo, shortbread, 'nilla wafer or a pre-baked pastry pie!

      What should I do with the heavy whipping cream if I don’t want to use cool whip? Just pour it in and proceed as it were the cool whip? I want to make the cheesecake with the heavy cream.

      This pie looks utterly luscious and inviting! I love the fact it combines the richness and creaminess from cheesecake, and it's also light and refreshing thanks to lime. Perfect summer treat!
