Key Lime Greek Yogurt Cheesecake

Let me tell you I’ve got Vanilla Wafers on my mind. I wanted to make a no bake dessert really bad because it has been in the 90’s here and I don’t have air conditioning. I kinda want to buy it. Not so much because I can’t take the heat. I want it because I can’t take the smell of the dairy on hot days. I’m tired of the dust too. All the semi trucks delivering feed to our dairy drive right behind my house on a dirt road. Really though, it’s the smell of all the hot cow poop right outside my window that I’m not lovin! Anyway, back to the Vanilla Wafers. I can’t bear to turn my oven on and I NEED a dessert. I had the perfect recipe in my head. In the pantry I went to grab my wafers and low and behold, they were GONE. I guess I could have used the crumbs. The big boss always leaves the empty box in the pantry. I guess he doesn’t believe in garbage cans. Anyway, I had to create a different recipe using graham crackers instead. Maybe it was a blessing because Key Lime Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes are good!

I buy boxes of graham crackers by the cart full this time of the year. I do NOT want to have a craving for s’mores and be stuck without graham crackers. Anyway, I whipped up this graham cracker crust and then nuked it for a few seconds so it would stick together a little better.

You know I am in love with Greek yogurt so it seemed likely to add it to my cheesecake. I used Chobani. Yum!

After I finished making these, I couldn’t stop licking the beaters and the bowl. The Big Boss came in so I had to share one beater with him. I was nice even though he ate all my vanilla wafers.

Top with sliced strawberries and you are good to go! A little lime zest makes them super cute too!

You know I love cute food and these are the cutest! Of course it would have been faster to put them in store bought graham cracker crust. And I won’t judge you if you do. If I had one in my pantry I might have used it too. But these are cute!
