Number Of Ingredients 14

For crust
7 ounces blanched whole almonds (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
For filling
2 pounds cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 large eggs
For topping
a 16-ounce container sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Make crust:
  • In a food processor pulse almonds until finely ground and transfer to a bowl. Dust sides of springform pan with about 3 tablespoons ground almonds, knocking excess back into bowl. Melt butter and cool slightly. Stir butter and sugar into almonds until combined well and press evenly onto bottom of springform pan.
  • Make filling:
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat cream cheese and sugar on low speed 2 minutes. Add lime juice and a pinch salt and beat until smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour filling into pan and bake cheesecake 45 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven (keep oven at 350°F.) and let stand 10 minutes.
  • Make topping while cheesecake is baking:
  • Let sour cream stand at room temperature 30 minutes. In a bowl whisk together sour cream, sugar, lime juice, and almond extract.
  • Drop spoonfuls of topping around edge of cheesecake and spread gently over entire top of cake, smoothing evenly. Bake cheesecake in middle of oven 10 minutes and transfer immediately to refrigerator. Chill cheesecake at least 8 hours, or until cold, and up to 2 days, covering after 8 hours. Run a thin knife around edge of pan and remove side.

This recipe is missing some important steps. It doesn't say how long to bake the cheesecake, or at what temperature.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cheesecake didn't turn out. It was too dry and crumbly.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try making it again with a different crust recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one is an exception. The lime and almond flavors are so unique and refreshing. I could definitely see myself making this again.

This cheesecake is delicious! I love the tartness of the lime and the sweetness of the almonds. The crust is also very good. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I've made this cheesecake twice now, and it's become a family favorite. It's so easy to make, and it always turns out perfectly. The lime zest really brightens up the flavor of the cheesecake, and the almond crust is the perfect complement.

This cheesecake was a huge hit at my dinner party! The lime and almond flavors were a perfect combination, and the crust was the perfect balance of sweet and crumbly. I will definitely be making this again.
