Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe
This Key Lime Cheesecake is very similar to what they make at The Cheesecake Factory.
Ingredients:
Crust
1 3/4 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
5 Tbsp. Butter, melted
1 Cup Sugar
Cheesecake Filling
3 (8 oz.) packages Cream Cheese, softened
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Cup fresh Lime Juice
3 Eggs
Whipped Cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Directions:
Crust
Combine crumbs, butter and 1 Tbsp. sugar in a bowl. Stir well to coat all crumbs. Keep it crumbly.
When the crumb mixture seems ready, press the crumbs onto the bottom and half way up the sides of an 8" spring form pan. Then, place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Do not turn off the oven.
Cheesecake Filling
In large bowl combine the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla. Mix with electric mixer until smooth. Add the lime juice and eggs and continue to beat till smooth and creamy. Once ready, pour filling into crust.
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. If top is turning light brown, then the pie is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until room temperature. Then, put the pie into the refrigerator to chill.
Once chilled, remove the pan sides and cut. Serve with whipped cream.
And Enjoy!
