Citrus got real! Finally, an indulgent dessert that’s fit for summer. Perfect to serve at a garden party or summer potluck. It’s cool, tangy, sweet, but still sugar conscious.
Ingredients
1 brick (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, room temperature
1 pkg Citrus Lime No-Bake Cheesecake Mix
1 lime
1 1⁄2 cups whipping cream
1 prepared 9” graham pie shell or prebaked pie crust
Preparation
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat cream cheese with mix on medium-high speed until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
Using a box grater or microplane, finely grate zest from lime, if desired. Using 2-in-1 Citrus Press, squeeze in juice from zested lime.
Gradually add cream, whipping until soft peaks form.
Fill into prepared pie shell; smooth top. Freeze 2 hours, or until set. Refrigerate until ready to serve. If making ahead, keep frozen and place in refrigerator prior to serving.
Just before serving, top with whipped cream and topper, if desired.

Make mini tarts! Using a pastry bag, fill prebaked, cooled tart shells with filling. There is enough filling to fill 36 mini tart shells.
Find prepared graham pie shells in the baking section of most grocery stores. Or use a frozen 9” pie crust. Follow directions on pack to pre-bake shell.
