There’s something about citrus and cream that just works—and this Lime-Yogurt Cheesecake is the perfect proof. With its zesty lime notes and the creamy tang of Greek yogurt and cream cheese, this no-bake (well, mostly no-bake) dessert delivers a refreshing and indulgent bite without being overly heavy.


It’s ideal for spring and summer gatherings, but honestly, we’ve made this in the dead of winter just to bring a little sunshine into the kitchen. The sponge base keeps it light, the filling is smooth and fluffy, and the lime glaze on top is the citrusy crown jewel.


This cheesecake is versatile enough to suit any occasion – from casual get-togethers to more formal events, and its elegant presentation will surely steal the spotlight.

A Cheesecake for Every Occasion


I still remember the first time I made this Yogurt and Lime Cheesecake. It was for a casual get-together with some friends, and I wanted to serve something light, fresh, and a little different from the usual rich desserts.


Blending creamy Greek yogurt with fresh lime felt so simple and effortless, but I had a good feeling it would be just the right mix of tangy and sweet. When I finally pulled it out of the fridge and added the finishing touches, it looked gorgeous—the vibrant lime zest gave it that perfect pop of color.


And then came the first bite... wow. The smooth, airy texture with that bright, citrusy kick was honestly better than I expected. My friends loved it!


Since then, it’s become my go-to dessert for everything from summer dinners to birthdays. It’s the kind of treat that always gets compliments, and it never feels too heavy. The fresh, zesty flavor paired with the creamy filling just works—every time.

Tips to Make the Perfect Yogurt & Lime Cheesecake


Use high-quality ingredients:

Will result in a better-tasting cheesecake;


Use Full-Fat Yogurt:

Greek yogurt it’s thicker and gives the cheesecake a smooth consistency.


 Soften cream cheese: 

Make sure the cream cheese is soft before mixing it with the other ingredients.

This will ensure a smooth and creamy filling;


Whip cream to stiff peaks:

Beat the cream until stiff peaks form.

This will help it hold its shape and not collapse onto the filling;


Avoid over-mixing: 

Over-mixing the filling mixture can cause it to become too soft and unable to set properly.


Chill Well:

After assembling the cheesecake, give it plenty of time to chill in the fridge, ideally for at least 3 hours, or overnight.

✔ This allows the flavors to set and the texture to firm up.


Serve at Room Temperature:

Letting the cheesecake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving helps enhance the flavors and makes the texture even more creamy.

FAQs (Common Questions Answered)


Can I use store-bought sponge cake instead?

Yes! If you’re short on time, a thin layer of store-bought sponge or ladyfingers can work. Just ensure it fits snugly into your springform pan.


Is there a substitute for gelatin sheets?

You can substitute 1 sheet of gelatin with about 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin. Bloom the powder in cold water first (per packet instructions) before using it in the same way.

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Absolutely. This is the perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it up to 2 days in advance, keeping it well-covered in the fridge.


How should I store leftovers?

Cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap or store slices in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll keep well for 3–4 days.


Can I freeze it?

Technically yes, but the texture might change slightly due to the yogurt. If you do freeze it, wrap slices individually and defrost in the fridge overnight.



A friend of mine said, ''I made this for a dinner party, and everyone loved it! The lime flavor is so fresh, and the creamy filling is just divine. It’s the perfect dessert - refreshing, not heavy, and beautifully presented. I'll definitely make again!''
