I loved it! Since key lime juice is much more tart than normal lime juice, I would recommend cutting back by half of the juice if you want the true key lime taste. This is a wonderful cheesecake though. I also cut the cooking time down by five minutes and then froze the cake overnight. The next day I brought it out of the freezer and served it after 20 minutes it was very refreshing ice cold!!

Love this cheesecake. very refreshing. I did add 1/4 cup more sugar. I tried reducing the key lime juice but that reduce it's zest. I wanted it tangy but a bit sweeter. Everyone that taste's this cake just loves it.

I reduced the lime juice to 2/3 cup. It was still tart, but very refreshing on a hot summer day. I think the amount of juice is really a matter of personal preference. The cheesecake itself turned out perfectly. I had never made one before, and this one looked beautiful (no cracks).

YUK!! I'm not sure what all these other people quantify as delicious, but if you like BITTER cheesecake--then this is the recipe for you! 3/4 cup of Key Lime juice makes this cheesecake beyond tart. If you are still determined to make this cheesecake with Key Lime juice, take some advice. Start with 1/4 cup of the juice and taste. Add a little bit at a time until it's at a tartness you like. --Better yet, stick to Key Lime Pie.

I made this for our neighborhood diner's club and it was a BIG hit! I started with 1/2 cup of key lime juice and added a little at a time until it tasted just right - I think I used about 2/3 of a cup. I also put the shallow pan of water in with the cheesecake while it cooked and it seemed to help with preventing cracking. Very good and I will be making it again!!

This was really yummy and not hard to make. Mine cracked, but then ALL my cheesecakes crack; no matter what I do. Best to have a garnish ready to hide the cracks if they do appear. I used lime candies; although I like the idea that another reviewer used; Cool Whip. I also found that 1 drop of green food coloring was not enough. I used 3 or 4. Overall an excellent recipe.

3/4 of a cup was way too much lime juice for this as it gave a bitter taste rather than a pleasing tartness. Reducing it to a 1/2 cup might improve it, otherwise, load it up with whipped cream to cut the bitterness.

I have been looking for a good Key Lime Cheesecake recipe for a long time. I thought I would try this one for Christmas, and it was a big success. It was easy to make, it turned out great, and it tasted wonderful. That sweet, tart taste just can't be beat. It was also light enough to eat at the end of a big meal. I followed a helpful hint that I had found on another recipe website: I put a shallow pan half full with hot water on the lowest rack in the oven while this cheesecake was baking. Its supposed to keep it from cracking, and it did the trick! I would definitely make this one again!

This was my first key lime pie so it was hard to rate. I very much like the fact that it did not have milk in the recipe. Next tiem I will keep simmer longer for thicker filling.

What a great, tart, summer treat! I halved and sliced key limes and garnished the top of the cake with them (along with whip cream rosettes). I made two of these and took them to two different events last week. Men seemed to really like it, and several people asked me for the recipe.

Men seem to really like this pie but the CoolWhip is a must on top.

This is a super cheesecake if you love key lime pie. The prior review said it did not set up, but mine came out just perfect. I especially loved that it was not real sweet. I served it for Easter and everyone loved it.
