We have the coolest friends--SueAnn and Jason. And Jason is pursuing his dream of becoming a CHEF! We always looked forward to dinner invites by this family...we got to sample some of Chef Jason's finest and this was the last thing Jason made for us before they moved :( and I LOVE IT!
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup lime juice
1/4 cup cold water
1 1/2 cup sugar
5 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tsp grated lime peel
2 pkg ( 8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatine over lime juice and cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Stir in sugar, eggs and lime peel. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches 160 degrees. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Gradually beat in gelatine mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 45 minutes or until partially set, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold into lime mixture. Spoon into graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until set. Makes two cheesecakes, with a little extra if they are the small store bought pie pans. I put the extra in a small dish with a graham cracker underneath and it makes a yummy snack too!
