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 cheesecake was delicious! The crust was the perfect combination of crunchy and chewy, and the filling was creamy and smooth. The lime flavor was refreshing and it wasn't too sweet. I would definitely make this again.

This cheesecake was a bit of a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was too dense. I think I may have overmixed the batter, which could have contributed to the problems. I would be willing to try this recipe again, but I would make sur
