My wife asked me to make her a cake for her birthday.

March 31, 2021, 11:36 AM

She wanted a Key Lime Cheesecake, and who am I to say no. She also wanted a chocolate crust, so that's what she got. It has the chocolate crust, a layer of lime custard, the lime cheesecake filling, and a sweetened sour cream topping. It turned out rather tasty, if I do say so myself...

Close, but no banana. On second thought, you probably already had a stash of bananas...

Key Lime Cheesecake Recipe

I do increase the lime custard and the cheesecake filling by 50% to make a taller finished product. I suggest just following the recipe the first time.

HawkerXP I'm addicted to brownies I maje a batch every second day the GUi type and I also incorporate many different things to the recipe (salty fudge, inject lemon curd, honeycomb and more). Not a big fan of the cake ones.
