NO-BAKE LIME CHEESECAKE
Being from the Sunshine State, I love any recipe containing citrus. This one, featuring lime, is quick to mix up and disappears almost as fast. Substitute orange juice, zest and slices for the lime to get another great cheesecake variation.

LIME MOUSSE CAKE
I got this recipe from Epicurious and it quickly became a favorite. Much easier to make than it looks, it's lighter (and easier) than a cheesecake, and everyone seems to love it. The best part is you can make it ahead of time and forget about it until it's time to serve. It's a great ending for a Mexican or summer menu.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using fresh limes, cream cheese, and sour cream.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using it. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake mixture. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly.
- To make the mousse topping, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then, fold in the lime curd and lime zest.
- Pipe the mousse topping onto the chilled cheesecake. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to do this.
- Chill the cheesecake again for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
This mousse-topped lime cheesecake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy cheesecake filling is perfectly complemented by the light and fluffy mousse topping. This cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
