I made this for a potluck where the theme was Mexican. It was so good and there was none left to take back home. I made some changes. Instead of a graham cracker crust i made "hawaiian" type crust with 1 1/2 cup crushed Key lime flavored cookies (these i found at H-E-B. they had white chocolate chips in them), 1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. I almost bought a bottle of key lime juice but i noticed it said something about being extra concentrated. I wonder if that's why some of the reviews said the lime was too overpowering. I used fresh squeezed Key lime juice instead. I bought a 2 lb bag and, between the juicing and decoration, i used all but 1/4 lb. As for cooking, i usually use a water bath but it always makes my crusts soggy so i tried just putting the pan of water at the bottom of the oven this time and it worked perfectly. the crust was firm and crunch and my cake did not crack!I made real whipped cream to spread on top and i thought it made a light compliment to the bold key lime flavor. Thanks so much for the recipe. this will go in my collection
