Key Lime Cheesecake Delight
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup key lime juice
Instructions
1
Combine graham cracker crumbs with softened butter, mixing until well combined, then press into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan; chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
2
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). Place a shallow pan half full of boiling water on the lower rack to prevent cracking.
3
To create the filling, combine cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, and cornstarch in a large bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and even. Gradually add eggs one at a time, blending just until well combined. Add Key lime juice with the mixer on low speed, then finish mixing by hand to avoid overbeating. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
4
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until it is set and firm.
5
Turn off the oven, and let the cheesecake stand in the oven for 30 minutes with the door slightly ajar. Remove from the oven.
6
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight, and up to 3 days.
