Ingredients
- For the Crust
- 200g (1 and 3/4 stick) butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 and 3/4 cup flour
- For the Cheesecake
- 16 oz (2 pkg) cream cheese (at room temp to easily whisk)
- 2 Tbsp sugar (this is a "less sweet" version; you can add more if you wish :D)
- 3 tsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease an 8 inch circular cake pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
For the CrustMelt butter in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and mix with a whisk. Then add flour and mix until it has come together like dough. Press the dough into the cake pan to evenly spread all around. Place crust in the oven for 8 minutes.
For the CheesecakeIn another bowl, mix together the creamcheese and sugar with an electric mixer (or a whisk) until soft and creamy. Then mix in the vanilla, lime juice, and one egg. After incorporating, mix in the remaining egg. Using a spatula, pour the cheesecake mixture into the cake pan (over the crust) and even out. Place in oven for 35-40 minutes.
Enjoy :)
