A Key lime cheesecake recipe that will keep you coming back for more. My favorite dessert to make has to be cheesecake. This version is just one of many that gets a lot of requests. It is sweet and tangy just like its more familiar cousin, Key lime pie. I usually serve it with whipped cream and lime slices.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups graham cracker crumbs: 1 piece
  • butter: 6 Tbsp (melted)
  • ounces cream cheese: 24 piece (softened)
  • white sugar: 1 cup
  • lime zest: 1 Tbsp (grated)
  • cornstarch: 1 Tbsp
  • eggs: 3 piece
  • key lime juice: 0.66667 cup

  3. Beat cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, and cornstarch in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. Add Key lime juice with mixer on low. Finish mixing by hand. Do not overbeat, or the cake will crack during baking. Pour batter into the prepared crust.
