I'm not a huge fan of key lime pie, but I loved this cheesecake. The white chocolate mousse really balances out the tartness of the key lime.

The white chocolate mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the key lime filling is perfect. Overall, this is a good cheesecake, but I would probably adjust the sweetness of the mousse next time.

This cheesecake was a hit at my party! The white chocolate mousse was light and fluffy, and the key lime filling was tart and refreshing. The crust was the perfect balance of crumbly and rich.
