Coconut Lime Cheesecake is one of my favorite cheesecakes. It’s a really simple dessert, but it is packed full of flavor. For one, it’s really pretty. The contrast of white cheesecake smothered in dark purple blueberries is quite stunning.
This dessert is super versatile. Coconut lime cheesecake is great for spring, all the way through summer.
Typically when you think of lime desserts you come up with Key Lime Pie and Margaritas. This is a unique twist that you can serve at a nice dinner or party that will likely be something no one has ever had!
My other favorite thing about this desert is that it’s pucker your lips tart. I mean, it’s got an entire cup of lime juice in it, but it’s so right.

Notes
Can I Reduce the Amount of Lime Juice?
Whatever alterations you make to the liquid, balance it out with either whipping cream or coconut milk.
Less lime juice will diminish the lime flavor. Extra whipping cream will lessen the flavor over all, while extra coconut milk will add a tropical sweetness.
I made the recipe after all, but I personally wouldn’t dream of reducing the amount of lime juice.
Cheesecake Topping: Blueberry Sauce
This blueberry sauce is the ultimate cheesecake topping.
The limes in this cheesecake do what limes do; they make it super tart, but the blueberry sauce balances it out beautifully.
An extra layer of whipped cream is just what this cheesecake needs.
If This is a Lime Cheesecake, Why Does the Blueberry Sauce Have Lemon?
Lemon is a natural flavor enhancer, and sweetener when combined with something more naturally bitter.
Lime is simply tart and sour. It’s doesn’t react with other ingredients in the way that lemon does. It’s its own flavor.
You cannot taste the lemon in this sauce, so it does not counteract with the lime cheesecake.
How Would this Blueberry Sauce be on Plain Cheesecake?
It would be amazing, of course! This blueberry sauce is amazing on everything.
