Prepare the crust

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add in the key lime juice, zest, and sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition, just until incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an hour.
