Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir in butter. Combine until all crumbs are coated. Pat the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
- In large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, mascarpone and remaining sugar. Beat in egg. Add lime juice. Pour cheese mixture into pan. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 250°F Bake for 1 hour or until center is firm yet barely set. Cool completely, then refrigerate, covered.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cheesecake batter to mix smoothly and evenly.
- Use a springform pan with a removable bottom for easy slicing and serving.
- To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. This creates a moist environment that helps to prevent the cheesecake from drying out.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake. The center should still be slightly wobbly when you take it out of the oven. It will continue to cook as it cools.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- Garnish the cheesecake with fresh lime zest, whipped cream, or berries before serving.
