Now that we’ve got our mouth watering, let’s get down to what you need to whip this up. Here are the ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened

- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- ½ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 to 2 jalapenos, finely diced (depending on your heat preference)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Alright, got your ingredients? Let’s get to the fun part – making this cheesecake!
Instructions:
- Preheat that oven to 325°F (160°C). You want it nice and warm for your cheesecake.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until you get a crumbly mixture. Press that into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until it’s smooth and creamy – no lumps allowed, y’all!
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in that zesty lime juice, lime zest, diced jalapenos, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix it up until it’s all combined.
- Pour that creamy mix over your crust. Smooth the top and pop it in the oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set (but still a little jiggly).
- When it’s done, turn off the oven, crack the door, and let it cool in there for about an hour. Then let it chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours – overnight is even better if you can wait.
- Slice it up, serve it cold, and watch everyone go wild for this flavor explosion!
And there you have it! A spicy twist on a classic dessert that will have your family and friends asking for seconds. Enjoy this Jalapeno Lime Cheesecake and let those flavors dance on your palate!
