Cheesecake is probably my absolute favorite dessert, which means portion control is a must. Ever since I first made my Cherry Cheesecake Cups a couple years ago I’ve been experimenting with other flavors and these Key Lime Cheesecake Cups were my favorite so far. They’re bright and citrusy (perfect for Spring) with rich cheesecake texture in perfectly portioned cups for just 106 calories or 5 Green, 4 Blue or 4 Purple Weight Watchers SmartPoints each! They’re also super quick and easy to make, so it’s a perfect recipe for a weeknight treat or get together.
