Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup graham cracker crumbs Use finely crushed crumbs for a smoother crust.
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Melted for mixing into the crust.
  • 16 oz cream cheese Softened at room temperature for easy blending.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Balances the tartness of the lime.
  • 3 large eggs Room temperature for better incorporation.
  • 0.75 cup key lime juice Freshly squeezed for optimal flavor.
  • 1 tbsp lime zest Adds extra zing to the cheesecake.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine your graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring they are fully mixed in before adding the next.
  • Mix in the lime juice and zest until everything is well combined. Pour this creamy mixture over your prepared crust in the springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set. Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for about 1 hour before transferring to the fridge to chill.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Once set, serve chilled and enjoy the deliciously refreshing key lime cheesecake.

Notes

This cheesecake is best served chilled and can be topped with whipped cream or lime slices for an extra touch.
