1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz cream cheese (450g), softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar.
Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring a smooth and airy texture.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing it out into an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the cheesecake has set.
Serve:
Once set, slice and serve chilled. Garnish with lime zest or fresh lime slices if desired!
💡 Tips:
For an extra zesty kick, you can fold in some lime zest into the cheesecake filling.
If you prefer a thicker crust, increase the amount of graham cracker crumbs and butter.
Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream for an added touch of elegance.
🎉 A zesty, creamy, and light dessert—this Lime Mousse Cheesecake is sure to impress!
