Crustless Lime Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Stir in butter until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when squeezed. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze until firm, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and condensed milk on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add lime juice, zest, and vanilla. Beat 1 minute more.
• In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cream-cheese mixture. Pour over chilled crust; smooth top with an offset spatula. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 3 days.
• Run a knife along cake's edge before releasing sides of pan, then under bottom to loosen. Serve, garnished with lime rounds.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat well.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the lime juice and spoon the mixture into a greased 9-inch glass pie plate.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes (Do not turn off the oven).
• Meanwhile, in another large bowl, mix together the topping ingredients. Spread over the top of the cheesecake and bake for 10 minutes longer, (the top will remain almost liquid.).
• Let cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Cover the cheesecake with fresh berries before serving, if you like.
• Note: I added more lime juice and grated lime rind to give more lime flavor according to the reviewer's suggestion.

Steps:

• Combine cookie or graham cracker crumbs with butter or margarine. Press into bottom and partially up sides of 9 inch springform pan. Refrigerate.
• In a large bowl, beat with an electric mixer the cream cheese, sugar, lime peel, and cornstarch until smooth and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, blending just until smooth. Add key lime juice with mixer on low. Finish mixing by hand. Do not over beat, or cake will crack during baking. Pour batter into prepared crust.
• Bake at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 55 to 65 minutes, or until set. To minimize cracking, place a shallow pan half full of hot water on lower rack during baking.
• Turn oven off, and let cheesecake stand in oven 30 minutes with the door open at least 4 inches. Remove from oven. Refrigerate cake overnight, and up to three days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees, coat an 8 inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1/2 C sugar; beat well, beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp lemon juice until well combined.
• Spoon mixture into the baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden; remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, do not turn off the oven.
• Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine the sour cream and the remaining 1 TBS sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1/4 tsp lemon juice; mix well, spread over the top of the cheesecake and bake for 10 minutes.
• Let the cheesecake cool, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
