The words “no bake Paleo key lime cheesecake” in one sentence almost sounds too good to be true, right? While this recipe might take some extra time and effort to execute, it is more than worth it!
The use of lime seems like it virtually transports you to a sunnier place, while the crust is deceiving – you’ll be surprised just how much protein and fiber of slice has. You’ll probably be going back for a second slice the minute you’re done your first!
