I actually altered this a bit to make mini-cheesecakes, so I did not use the crust at all. I did double the vanilla extract and add a quick splash of regular lime juice to add a bit more pucker. I want to make sure everyone knows to get KEY LIME JUICE! I wasn't aware there was a difference and got sweetened lime juice first from the grocery store mixer section. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. We found actual KEY LIME JUICE in our local liquor store in the mixer section. MUCH BETTER with real key lime juice!

Absolutely one of the best I've made and that I've eaten. Rave comments from my family & friends. My niece refused to share ....and she's 34! Great flavor; lovely lightness; wonderful dessert.

Simple and straight forward. Tastes great! We just won first place in a local desert contest with this.
