Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the crusts

For the lime cheesecake filling

  • 100 g Cream Cheese or vegan alternative
  • 1 Lime juice & zest
  • 1 tbsp Liquid Sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp Matcha optional - for colour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C fan. Combine oat flour, ground almonds, and liquid sweetener in a bowl. Mix for a crumbly texture.
  • Divide crust mixture into six portions. Press into muffin tray compartments, creating a cup shape using a shot glass, bottle, or fingers.
  • Bake crusts for 10 minutes until golden and fragrant.
  • While crusts bake, prepare key lime cheesecake filling in a small bowl. Mix cream cheese (or vegan alternative), lime zest, lime juice, liquid sweetener, and matcha (if using) until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove crusts from the oven and cool slightly. Fill each cup with key lime filling.
  • Sprinkle more lime zest on top for added flavour and presentation.
  • Refrigerate for at least an hour until the filling sets.

Notes

*I recommend using a silicone muffin tray, as it's easier to remove the key lime cheesecakes. Alternatively, you can use a regular muffin tray and insert some cupcake papers.
