NOTES

The presentation of your cheesecake as it adorns your dessert table will give that WOW factor to your guests.

No one will be leaving until after dessert is served! Better plan accordingly!

I always strive to serve the best meals I can. That means finding the best recipes that compliment each other.

Desserts are part of this plan.

And cheesecakes are some of the best desserts I can prepare.

I rarely serve a fancy looking dessert. And I never serve a complicated dessert.

So my recipes just have to meet a few requirements.

  • They must be delicious.
  • They must be inexpensive.
  • they must taste awesome.
  • and they must be able to be made by anyone.

This Key Lime Cheesecake is no exception.

It only takes about 30 minutes to prepare And 45 minutes to bake.

The hardest part of the whole recipe is waiting for it to chill!

My family looks forward to seeing this Key Lime Cheesecake.

Your family will too.

    Hey! This recipe looks amazing, making it with my family right now! However, a little confused about directions versus picture/description. It says to put in custard first, however in picture and description the custard is on top. Following the description and picture as that seems right but just wanted to clarify. Thank you for sharing this recipe and Happy Thanksgiving!

      The original recipe was written differently than I put it together. It made more sense to put the filling below the custard topping. It is confusing. I will clarify the recipe. Thanks for asking and let me know how your dish turns out!!

      I am sorry to hear that about limes. If you can use the squeeze lime juice in the dairy/produce area and skip the zest (peel). Or if you like use lemon. I do hope you get to sample something similar. The topping of a filling like this is what makes the etaste. Have a wonderful week!

      Key lime pie has become one of my favorites after a fruit pie. If you get the chance you definitely have to sample it. Have a wonderful week!

    This sounds so good, and so simple. We love Key Limes so I’ll have to pin this. Maybe I can make it for an upcoming holiday gathering.

    I’m with all your other readers who’ve checked in: a weakness for key lime anything. I’m not as crazy about cheesecake–i might try this with a thinner layer of cheese cake but the full topping key lime custard.

      This cheesecake recipe is light and fluffy. It isn’t the heavy New York style of cheesecake. A piece will not cause a full overstuffed feeling. Go ahead and cut that layer in half. But I bet you will add more the next time. Personally, I would double the topping because for me that had the most flavor. Enjoy!

      I just fell in love with the key lime on top. It was better than the fudge I usually drizzle on top. Thx Judee and have a great week.

    This combines two of my all-time favorite “pies” (I consider cheesecake a pie because it’s un-cake-like). Love it!

      That’s funny Trish!! I never know how to tag cheesecake. As a cake? As a pie?? I think most of my recipes here switch back and forth! Thanks for visiting me. Have a great day.

    I think a spring form pan is going to follow me home next trip to the store. This looks sinfully delicious. The perfect combination of tart and sweet.
