New York Baked Lime Cheesecake Recipe — The Cake Mistress

New York Baked Cheesecake Recipe: From Jamie Oliver’s America — The Cake Mistress.

Had a craving for NY baked cheesecake.  I was a little concerned that the cheesecake should be baked because I am not supposed to be eating raw ingredients.  Found this recipe online which looks good!  Made it and it’s going into the freezer for the next two hours!

Ingredients

350g Digestive biscuits
120g Unsalted butter, melted
900g Cream cheese, softened (can use light or low-fat, but NOT fat-free)
150g Caster sugar
5 large eggs
125ml Fresh Lime juice (5-6 limes)

The directions are pretty straight forward.  Summary: Blend digestive biscuits then mix in the melted butter.  Spread evenly over base of the 24cm spring foam pan.  Place pan in fridge to allow base to set.  Mix cream cheese with electric mixer until silky soft.  If cream cheese still firm, place the mixing bowl in sink of hot water and/or mix it in a sink of hot water, which was what I did.  Then add caster sugar, mix well.  Add eggs one by one and mix after each addition.  Finally mix in the lime juice (I probably added too much lime juice because it ended up tasting like lime cheesecake!).  Pour into pan and stick it in the oven to bake for 45 minutes.  I didn’t add the meringue topping because I don’t like meringue but the cheesecake looks good as is.

Just baked from the oven!

A slice of lime & heaven!
