  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • 9" or 10" springform pan
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs regular or chocolate
  • 7 tbsp butter unsalted, melted
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 24 oz cream cheese softened, 3 - 8oz blocks
  • 2⅔ cups sweetened condensed milk about 1½ - 14 oz cans
  • ½ cup key lime juice about 20 key limes
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Line the bottom of the spring form pan with parchment paper. You can line sides as well if desired.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, salt, cinnamon, and butter and mix until combined. Pour this into the spring form pan and pack down and up the sides depending on the size of the spring form pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • While the crust is freezing pour the heavy cream into the blow of the stand mixer. Using the whisk attachment mix on high until the cream forms stiff peaks. Pour into a cleaned mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Add the cream cheese to the bowl of the stand mixer. Using a paddle attachment on medium high speed beat until light. Reduce the speed to medium and slowly add the condensed milk. Add the lime juice and zest and increase the speed to medium high and mix until light.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling and pour into the springform pan. Please in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours but better if overnight.
  • To release run a toothpick or sharp knife around the inside edge of the springform pan. If you lined the sides with parchment then gently peel the sides off.
  • Top with additional sweetened whipped cream if desired.
