Key Lime Pie Cheesecake is a creamy, tangy dessert that combines the richness of cheesecake with the refreshing flavor of key lime pie, all on a buttery graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup key lime juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 1 tbsp key lime zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream and lime slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Mix in sour cream, key lime juice, zest, and vanilla until combined.
  7. Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just set and the edges are lightly browned.
  9. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit in oven with door ajar for 1 hour.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  11. Top with whipped cream and lime slices if desired.

Notes

  • Use bottled key lime juice if fresh key limes are unavailable.
  • Cheesecake is best made a day ahead to allow flavors to develop.
  • Wrap bottom of the springform pan in foil before baking if using a water bath.
