There’s nothing I love more than a tart lemon or lime dessert. Key lime pie happens to be my number one seller and it’s the one thing people come back for again and again. Combine it with cheesecake and we have a winner! I make them in muffin tins, but you can easily make this recipe in a large pie dish or store-bought graham cracker crust. It’s worth the multiple steps and dirty bowls- trust me!

Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 2 sleeves graham crackers

  • 1 stick butter, melted (1/2 cup)

Cheesecake

  • 20 ounces cream cheese (2 and 1/2 bars), room temperature

  • 1 (16-ounce) container sour cream

  • 1 cup sugar

Key Lime Layer

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 small limes)

  • 2 tablespoons Mishpacha Flour

  • 2 eggs

Crush the graham crackers with a rolling pin (bottle of wine or oil works too!) in a Ziplock bag.

2.

Add melted butter, mix well, and set aside.

In a bowl of a stand mixer, combine all cheesecake ingredients.
