This Raw Lime Cheesecake is light, refreshing, and perfectly tangy—an ideal no-bake dessert for warm summer days. Naturally dairy-free and vegan, it’s a zesty treat everyone can enjoy.

Raw Lime Cheesecake. It's really refreshing, with a slightly tart edge and makes an amazing summer dessert!

If you may have noticed, I am in dessert creation mode at the moment, in a BIG way (hello Raw Chocolate Cookie Dough Bars!!!).

I have to admit that lime isn’t usually my first choice when it comes to dessert flavouring (in fact this might be my first lime dessert) but it more than stands up against some of my other fruit flavoured dishes, like my  Raw Strawberry, Lemon & Macadamia Cheesecake and my Raw Lemon Tart. It’s really refreshing, with a slightly tart edge and makes an amazing summer dessert!

As you’ll see below, this cheesecake isn’t really a cheesecake at all, but follows the traditional format quite closely – and it a blessing for those of us who can’t handle dairy. I keep mine in the freezer, which is nice on a day like today (about 32C or just under 90F!) though you might want to let it thaw a little before cutting. You can also keep in the fridge, but the top layer will be somewhat softer.

I made these with 4 smaller size spring form pans (about 11cm diameter), however you can use one larger pan (around 25cm). Don’t stress if you don’t have exactly the right size – the layers will just be a bit thinner or thicker.
