Ingredients

375 g graham cracker crumbs

85 g butter, melted

680 g cream cheese, softened

200 g white sugar

1 tbsp grated lime zest

1 tbsp cornstarch

3 large eggs

160 ml key lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 23-cm springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 150°C. Fill a shallow pan halfway with hot water and place it on the lower rack to minimize cracking.

Step 3

To make the filling, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese, sugar, lime zest, and cornstarch in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. With the mixer on low, add the Key lime juice. Finish mixing by hand, making sure not to overbeat. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until set.

Step 5

Turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake stand in the oven for 30 minutes with the door open at least 10 cm. Remove from the oven.

Step 6

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 8 hours, or overnight, and up to 3 days.
