Lemon Lime cheese cake - the Cheesecake Factory recipe!!

While I worked on the base (military, as a civy), I was given a copy of the insiders cookbook.  Inside are many insiders recipies that I've started to go through and try (the Cinnabon one does not work very well gf). 

So here is the lemon like cheese cake 

1 box of kinnakik gf graham cracker crumbs 

5 tbsp of melted butter or margerine 

3 bricks of cream cheese 

1 cup + 1 tbsp of sugar 

1 tbsp of vanilla extract 

1/2 cup of juice from fresh limes OR 1/4 cup of lime juice (from bottle)

3 eggs 

Green food colouring if you want the look

Set oven to 350. In a bowl mix the graham crumbs with melted butter or margerine. Place the crumb mix  in a spring form pan pressing down with your hands to pack it down.  

In a mixer blend 3 warmed bricks of cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.  Once it is creamy & well mixed add in the eggs, lime juice and if you want green food colouring (though technically limes are yellow on the inside).  Once that is fully blended and pour ontop of the graham crumb crust.  

Place in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes (once it looks set, sides will look a little browned).  Place in the oven to cool or on the counter for a long time.  

My husband was impaitent so ours was still a little warm. 

Enjoy
