Mini No Bake Key Lime Cheesecakes

Mini No Bake Key Lime Cheesecakes are a delicious treat, perfect for an afternoon snack!

One of my favorite parts of each day is sitting down after school with the girls and snacking, before moving on to homework or activities. At this point in the day, we’ve typically been separated for a few hours (which means they haven’t been driving me crazy), so I love their company and finding out how the day went.

I’ve been doing a whole bunch of experimenting the kitchen recently, and my little helpers are usually the first to sample my creations.  Much of what I’ve been making has flavors from home. I’m talking drinks, appetizers, full entrees, and even sweets. I rarely miss Miami, but I always miss the culture and food.

A long time favorite of mine has been my mom’s key lime pie! I was recently challenged, to add my own spin to this recipe featuring Honey Maid graham crackers for Dia Del Niño (Children’s Day), so creating a mash-up seemed like the perfect solution.

To keep it simple, I went with a no-bake cheese cake. And to make it snackable, I down-sized into smaller muffin-sized treats. This one is simple enough for the kiddos to help if you so chose, which I think is usually an added bonus for them!
