Key limes, which are about the size of a Ping-Pong ball, are wonderfully fragrant and more acidic than regular limes. They are available all year at well-stocked supermarkets. If you can't find them, by all means use regular limes. 05 of 15 No-Bake Berry Cheesecake Bars View Recipe As if no-bake weren't tempting enough, consider that the graham cracker crust for these berry cheesecake bars has pecans in it.
