Tips to Make No-Bake Kiwi Lime Cheesecake

• For a firmer cheesecake, let it set in the fridge for longer than 4 hours.
• You can add more lime zest for a stronger lime flavor if you love citrus.

Variation

You can switch up the fruit topping! Instead of kiwi, try using strawberries, mangoes, or even mixed berries. Each fruit adds a different flavor and color to the cheesecake.

FAQs

Q: Can I use a different type of crust?
A: Yes! You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with cookies like Oreo or digestive biscuits for a different flavor.

Q: How do I know when the cheesecake is set?
