My favorite dessert to make has to be cheesecake. This version is just one of many that gets a lot of requests. It is sweet and tangy just like its more familiar cousin, Key lime pie. I usually serve it with whipped cream and lime slices. Recipe by BLUEKAT76 Updated on August 18, 2022 Save Saved!

Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Fill a shallow pan half full of hot water and place on the lower rack to minimize cracking. Beat cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, and cornstarch in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. Add Key lime juice with mixer on low. Finish mixing by hand. Do not overbeat, or the cake will crack during baking. Pour batter into the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until set. Turn the oven off, and let cheesecake stand in the oven for 30 minutes with the door open at least 4 inches. Remove from oven. Refrigerate cheesecake 8 hours to overnight, and up to 3 days.
