Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
1½ cups graham crackers (9–10 whole crackers)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Key Lime Cheesecake
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
½ cup key lime juice or regular lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
In a food processor, chop the graham crackers with the sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a foil-lined 8×8-inch pan. Freeze while preparing the cheesecake filling.
Key Lime Cheesecake
In a medium bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, stir the softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice, and zest.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture just until combined.
Pour over the frozen crust, cover, and refrigerate overnight. For quicker setting, freeze for a few hours before cutting into bars.
