Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (7 ounces, about 13 rectangles)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup, 4 ounces) butter, melted
Lime Curd:
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons, 2 ounces) butter
1 cup (7 ounces) granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (see note above)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon fresh lime zest
White Chocolate Cheesecake:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup (1.25 ounces) powdered sugar
1/2 cup (4 ounces) sour cream
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled until no longer warm but still pourable
1 teaspoon fresh lime zest (zest limes before juicing!)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and butter in a bowl until well mixed. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch baking pan; bake for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool completely while preparing the other parts of the pie.
For the lime curd, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar, lime juice, eggs and salt. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens, 10 minutes or so (depending on how hot the stove is); it should be the consistency of soft pudding. To avoid any little bits of cooked eggs, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl. Stir in the lime zest. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate until no longer warm.
For the cheesecake topping, in a medium bowl with an electric hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment), mix together the cream cheese and sugar until very smooth. Add the sour cream and lime juice and mix until combined. Add the white chocolate and whip until creamy and thick.
In a separate medium bowl with the electric mixer (no need to clean the beaters), or with a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (PS: I often use my Blendtec fro whip cream!), beat the cream to stiff peaks.
Fold the cream gently into the cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
Spread the cooled lime curd over the crust. Dollop the cheesecake filling over the curd and spread evenly.
Sprinkle additional fresh lime zest on the pie for garnish and use fresh lime slices, if desired, to decorate the top of the pie.
Chill for at least 4 hours before serving; the pie can be made a day ahead of time.
