Mini Lime Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce have become one of my favorite flavor combinations of cheesecake. The tart lime flavor pairs so well with plain cheesecake, and the raspberry sauce makes them even more delicious!
I was introduced to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant by my Dad about 16 years ago. It was the one at the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. We had an amazing dinner there with our family. Once it was time for dessert I was so overwhelmed with all the cheesecake choices! 😀 I’d never really been too much of a cheesecake fan up until that point, but once I decided on the Oreo Cheesecake and devoured almost the entire piece- I was hooked forever. ♥
These Mini Lime Cheesecakes with Raspberry Sauce have become one of my favorite flavor combinations of cheesecake. It is so good. The tartness of the lime pairs so well cheesecake. And the raspberry sauce just makes it even more delicious. I think I’m going to make them for our Cinco de Mayo dinner celebration. When I think of limes I think of Mexican food, so these would be a perfect way to end a Mexican meal.
Not only are these mini treats fun and yummy- they are perfect for parties. They’re super easy to make, to transport and to devour! They won’t last long either. Trust me on that!
