Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.75 cups lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (for garnish, optional)
- 1 lime lime slices (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, evenly covering the base. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese while continuing to beat until fully incorporated.
Mix in the lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until set and firm.
Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
Optional: Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your refreshing Cool Lime Cheesecake!
