Does anyone have a recipe for Key Lime Cheesecake that doesn't require sugar-free lime jello? I'm one of those people who has never been able to tolerate any amount of aspertame, and all the sugar free jello I've found has it. TIA!

You could use unflavored gelatin and grated lime rind instead.

Re: Key Lime Cheesecake?
Thanks! I think I'm going to have to experiment. If I have to experiment I'd like to leave out the jello all together, as I like a nice baked cheesecake much better than the jello no-bake. Maybe I should start with mini ones incase its no good I don't waste an entire cake, lol. I'm thinking about experimenting with my Baja Bob's sugar free margarita mix, but if I do that I'll most likely need the jello to absorb some of the liquid.1st Goal ~ 199 Onderland -Met 3/29/10

Re: Key Lime Cheesecake?
If you re baking the cheesecake, just use the grated lime rind and maybe some of the lime juice.

Re: Key Lime Cheesecake?
I LOVE the no-bake cheesecake w/ lime or lemon peel mixed in. The peel goes a long way... I find that squeezing juice in makes it a little bitter.
But OMG it's SO good!
ESPECIALLY with an almond nut crust... (grind almonds, stir in butter, pkt or 2 of splenda and a dash (or a few) of cinnomon, bake for about 15 minutes and let cool - then add your cheesecake.
Yummy!
Great, now I'm gonig to have to make one..
