• 6 tbsp salted butter (melted & cooled)

KEYLIME PIE CHEESECAKE
Serves 8
Print Recipe here:
INGREDIENTS:
4.5 oz (125g) of chocolate wafer cookies
1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
pinch of salt
3 tbsp (45 ml) butter, melted
16 oz (452 g) of whipped cream cheese
1/3 cup (65 g) of sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) vanilla
2 tbsp (15g) flour
1 14-oz (400 ml) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
4 egg yolks
½ cup (120 ml) key lime juice (about 12-13 key limes + one more key lime for the garnish)
2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream
2 tbsp (13 g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
METHOD:
Preheat oven to 350F (176C). Spray a spring form pan with baking spray and distribute well with a pastry brush and set aside.
Place the cookies, the sugar and salt in a food processor. Process until crumbs form. Add melted butter, continue to process until wet crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to the spring form pan and shake the pan to level the crumbs and then press them tin with a measuring cup or the bottom of a glass.
Bake crust for 5-6 minutes until fragrant. Allow to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and sugar, beat on high until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat and then add flour and beat just until combined.
Pour cheesecake filling into cooled cookie crust, smoothing out with a spatula until layer is leveled out. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and key lime juice. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the key lime mixture on top of the cheesecake mixture, making sure you are covering all the cream cheese with the pie filling. Smooth out with a small spatula.
Bake in a 350F(176C) oven for 35-40 minutes until cheesecake is set and jiggles slightly.
Allow to cool completely.
For whipped cream topping, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip on high until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a pastry bag with a round tip. Pipe little dollops of whipped cream all of over cheesecake until covered.
Garnish with fresh lime zest on top and a thinly sliced lime wheel in the center. Chill overnight to set.

INGREDIENTS
CRUST:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs from about 12 whole graham crackers
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Pinch of salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
CHEESECAKE:
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream room temperature
3 large eggs room temperature
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons key lime juice fresh or bottled if you can’t get key limes
Zest of two key limes or regular limes if you can’t find key limes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream for garnish
Lime curd for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Wrap the bottom of a 9” or 9 1/2” springform pan in two layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. You will be baking your cheesecake in a water bath and you want to make sure no water gets into the pan from the seam at the bottom.
Make the crust: If you’re using whole graham crackers, finely crush them in a food processor or place them in a ziploc bag and roll with a rolling pin.
Stir graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add melted butter and stir with a fork.
Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides (about 1”) of your pan. Press hard to compact. Chill until ready to fill.
Place a kettle of water on to boil for the water bath.
Make the cheesecake: Beat cream cheese with a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Beat in sugar and sour cream until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Mix in flour, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of your bowl during mixing to get any clumps of cream cheese stuck to the sides or bottom. Pour into crust.
Place the cheesecake in a large roasting pan. Place pan in the center of your preheated oven. Pour the boiling water carefully in one corner of the pan, until it reaches about a third to halfway up the cheesecake.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the cheesecake is just slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and let it sit for one hour. Remove from oven and let it cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, carefully remove ring of the springform pan. Top with whipped cream. Serve with lime curd, if desired. (If your cheesecake happens to crack, frosting it with lime curd will cover any blemishes!)
