This is one of my "go-to" desserts. I've made it for numerous occasions and it always gets lots of compliments. I also use a prepared graham cracker crust to make a super-easy recipe that much simpler and faster. The fresh lime zest and juice definitely make it lime-y but not overly so (unless you don't like lime to start with ;) It gives consistent results and usually doesn't crack after baking. One tip: ensure your cream cheese is well softened (I leave it out for about 8 hrs) and it will make mixing it up a snap!

I also added a half cup of sour cream to the recipe and it rurned out great! I would definitely try this one again.

Wonderful recipe, a hit with the family and quite easy to make. I used light cream cheese and it was still very rich. I doubled up on the lime as I found the called for amount too little. I also added some green food colouring to the filling.

Really good, but I would definitely add more lime.

This was the best baked cheesecake recipe I have ever made!!! I doubled the lime juice and peel because I am a lime fanatic and will definitely make this again.

I made this for our Thanksgiving dessert. It tasted great. I used graham crums instead of honey grahm, but it still was great.
