This is a sweet and tangy lime cheesecake dedicated to cheesecake lovers, finished in the style of a key lime pie. Recently, I was recommended to try 'Key Lime Pie' at a certain American restaurant and fell in love with its rich and tangy flavor. As a cheesecake lover, I was immediately captivated. However, when I looked up the recipe, I found it didn't contain cheese, so I added cheese to create my own version.

Ingredients

Two 7-inch pie dishes
  1. 7 ozcream cheese
  2. 3large egg yolks (or 4 small)
  3. 3/4 cupsweetened condensed milk
  4. 80 mlfreshly squeezed lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated zest, 12 slices of lime (3-4 limes)
  5. 4.2 ozbutter cookies/biscuits (use your favorite for the crust)
  6. 3 1/2 tablespoonsmelted butter
  7. 3/4 cupheavy cream
  8. 1 1/2 tablespoonssugar
  9. 1 tablespoonlime juice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    ~Preparation~
    Soften the cream cheese at room temperature. Wash the limes thoroughly, slice 12 pieces, grate 1 tablespoon of zest, and squeeze the rest for juice.

  2. 2

    These are the cookies I used this time.
    Crush the cookies in the bag until fine.

    *Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  3. 3

    Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter and press into a tart pan, using a spoon to compact it.

  4. 4

    Once the oven is preheated, bake just the crust for 15 minutes. You don't have to bake it, but it adds a crisp texture and makes it easier to remove from the pan.

  5. 5

    In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with a hand mixer until pale and thick. Gradually add half of the sweetened condensed milk, mixing well.

  6. 6

    In another bowl, gradually add the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk to the softened cream cheese, mixing well. *Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  7. 7

    Next, gradually mix the egg yolk mixture into the cream cheese mixture, incorporating the lime zest as well.

  8. 8

    Finally, gradually add the lime juice, mixing well. The lime's acidity and the condensed milk will thicken the mixture. Pour into the tart pan.

  9. 9

    Bake at 340-350°F for about 20-25 minutes.
    *Adjust according to your oven.

  10. 10

    After baking, let it cool slightly, then refrigerate for about 3 hours.
    *Whip the heavy cream until thick, then add sugar and 1 tablespoon of lime juice.

  11. 11

    Remove the chilled lime pie from the pan and transfer to a plate.

  12. 12

    Generously top with the whipped cream.

  13. 13

    Spread the cream thickly.

  14. 14

    Decorate with lime slices, and it's ready!

  15. 15

    Here's what the cut looks like. It's a perfect balance of sweet and tangy in this cheesecake.

  16. 16

    This is the 'Key Lime Pie' I first tried at a certain American restaurant. It's a seasonal cake available from early summer to summer. Lucky!

  17. 17

    Apple Chamomile made this in a large pan using these measurements. The bottom diameter is 7.7 inches, and the outer diameter is 8.7 inches for reference.
