Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake

  • 3 8oz packages cream cheese softened
  • 1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup key lime juice fresh or bottled
  • zest of 1 lime
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º and grease a 13 x 9 baking dish.
  • Make the crust:  combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and granulated sugar and mix well.  Press the mixture into the bottom and about an inch up the sides of the baking dish.  Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the crust is in the oven, prepare the filling.  In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with your mixer until smooth.  Add in the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, lime juice and lime zest.  Beat until well combined and smooth.  Add in the sugar and flour and mix well.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter on top of the crust and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the center is nearly set.  Remove from the oven and cool on the counter for 20 minutes then place it in the refrigerator to cool for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
