Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar to form a crust. Press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and egg yolks to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid incorporating too much air.
  4. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 325ðF (160ðC) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  5. Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  6. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely set.
  7. Just before serving, top with whipped cream and a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Garnish with lime zest or thin lime slices.
