Method

Cheesecake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, eggs, vanilla extract, and key lime zest. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Pour into Baking Dish

    Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared pan.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  5. 5

    Cool

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make Caramel

    In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the mixture turns a golden brown color.

  2. 7

    Add Cream

    Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up. Add a pinch of salt and stir until smooth.

  3. 8

    Cool Sauce

    Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before drizzling over the cheesecake.
