Add a photoMy mom was always trying to find the perfect Key Lime Pie recipe. Though I know it's popular, I wasn't a fan of any that she made. Then she made this Key Lime Cheesecake and I fell in love with it! It's one of those special recipes that I'll be making for years to come. I've only made it with regular limes, but it's probably even better if key limes are sold near you. If you like cheesecake and tart desserts, you've got to give this a try!
Ingredientes

- 22 squares graham crackers
- 1/4 cup butter

I'm a big cheesecake fan...and this is my new favorite. The light, lime flavor cuts the richness of the cheesecake and makes this wonderfully refreshing!Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

Delicious!
There is available Key Lime juice in a bottle from a brand called Nellie's.
You could also look for True Limes which are smaller and green.
Real Key Limes from the Florida Keys have a yellowish peel they might be the same as True Limes which didn't develop the color.Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta
