I made this recipe for a Labor Day BBQ and it was very good. I did not use the vanilla wafers since I didn't have any; instead I mixed crushed reduced fat graham crackers with a bit of melted butter and pressed into the bottom of the muffin liners for the crust. The cheesecake had a very bright and fresh taste. I will be making this recipe again.

Ingredients
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 14 vanilla wafers
- 1 (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8-ounce) package 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 3 tablespoons Key lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 7 teaspoons sweetened flaked coconut, toasted
- 2 teaspoons grated lime rind
Preparation
- Place 14 paper baking cups in muffin pans, and coat lightly with cooking spray. Place 1 vanilla wafer in each baking cup.
- Beat together fat-free and 1/3-less-fat cream cheeses and 3/4 cup sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg substitute and next 3 ingredients, beating until smooth. Spoon mixture evenly into baking cups.
- Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Remove pan from oven. Stir together sour cream and 1 tablespoon sugar. Spread 1 teaspoon sour cream mixture over top of each cheesecake. (Sour cream mixture will not completely cover each top.) Cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Cover and chill 2 hours. Sprinkle tops evenly with toasted coconut and lime rind.
