How to Make De Lime In De Coconut Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. **Crust:** Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter in a food processor. Process until just blended.
  3. Press mixture into the bottom and about ½ inch up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  4. **Filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Reduce speed to low and add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup shredded coconut, and the zest of 2 limes. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  7. Pour filling over the crust.
  8. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly when the pan is gently tapped.
  9. Remove from oven and run a thin knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
  10. Let cool completely to room temperature on a wire rack.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream and lime wedges before serving.
