Key Lime Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Key Lime Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheesecake Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and mix until well combined. Mix in the sour cream, key lime juice, and key lime zest until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool slowly.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cheesecake

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  5. 5

    Serve the Cheesecake

    Before serving, top the cheesecake with toasted coconut flakes and diced mango. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Slice and enjoy!
