Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe
2 cups graham cracker crumbs ¼ cup sugar ½ cup butter, melted 3-8 ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature 1 ¼ cups sugar 3 large eggs 8 ounces sour cream 1 ½ teaspoons grated lime rind ½ cup lime juice
Stir together the first 3 ingredients and firmly press on the bottom and 1-inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool; reduce the oven heat to 325 degrees. Beat the cream cheese at medium speed until fluffy; gradually add 1 ¼ cups sugar, beating until blended. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, lime rind and lime juice. Pour the batter into the prepared crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour; turn the oven off and partially open the oven door, leaving the cake inside the oven for 15 more minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the cheesecake; release the side. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack and then cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish, if desired, with lime slices and strawberry halves.
