ingredients

• FILLING

• 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese or (8 ounce) packages low-fat cream cheese
• 2⁄3 cup sugar or 2/3 cup Splenda granular
• 3 eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Place the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat well.
2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the lime juice and spoon the mixture into a greased 9-inch glass pie plate.
3. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes (Do not turn off the oven).
4. Meanwhile, in another large bowl, mix together the topping ingredients. Spread over the top of the cheesecake and bake for 10 minutes longer, (the top will remain almost liquid.).
5. Let cool, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
6. Cover the cheesecake with fresh berries before serving, if you like.
7. Note: I added more lime juice and grated lime rind to give more lime flavor according to the reviewer's suggestion.

I made this last night as my first attempt at making cheesecake. Since we really like lime (especially key lime) I ended up doubling the lime juice called for. It was fairly simple, and quite good. My husband didn't like the sour cream layer though, so I think I'll be skipping that layer in the future.
