Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 whole egg
3 teaspoons grated lime peel
3 oz white chocolate baking bars or squares, melted
4 egg yolks
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup Key lime juice
2 tablespoons butter
Lime slices, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  • In medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter and the brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla; beat until blended. On low speed, beat in flour until blended. Press dough into pan. Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add whole egg, 1 teaspoon of the lime peel and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat well. Add melted white chocolate; beat until combined. Cover; refrigerate.
  • In 2-quart saucepan, mix egg yolks, granulated sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir in water and lime juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat; stir in 2 tablespoons butter and remaining 2 teaspoons lime peel. Cool 10 minutes.
  • Spread cream cheese filling over baked crust. Pour lime curd over filling.
  • Bake 40 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on cooling rack. Chill 2 hours. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Garnish with lime slices. Store in refrigerator.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake didn't turn out very well. It was too dense and the crust was too dry.

This cheesecake is really rich, so a little goes a long way. I would recommend serving it with fresh fruit or whipped cream.

This cheesecake was a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll try using less key lime juice.
