This recipe was a hit! I took it to an employee holiday party & it was devoured...everyone commented that it was tangy & very good! Always a chance when you try a new recipe but I thought it sounded like a 'lighter' version of cheesecake & I was right- excellent, not too difficult to make = I will be making again!!!
no- I used Nelli & Joes real key lime juice & a good heaping of lime zest
Absolutely wonderful!!! I have made this cheesecake for years and always get rave reviews. I made it for our last staff meeting at work and my coworkers loved it. Now I am asked to make it for every staff meeting. It's so easy to make. I recommend this recipe to anyone in need of a refreshing yet decadent dessert.
Instead of graham cracker crumbs, I use Zwieback crumbs. It adds more richness to the "shell" - it's a *****-star recipe to begin with but the buttery Zwieback makes this recipe unique.
I made this cheesecake for dessert for Easter dinner. It was wonderful and got rave reviews from all my guests! I will definitely make this again.
Very good. I put them in mini cheesecake pans and added a couple drops of green food coloring to the geletin mixture. They set up right away and looked very impressive on my buffet table.
