Key Lime Cheesecakes with Raspberry Swirls

This recipe will guide you through creating individual cheesecakes that are not only delicious but also visually stunning with their beautiful raspberry swirls.

Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup raspberry puree (from fresh or frozen raspberries)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners for individual cheesecakes.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest, continuing to mix until well incorporated.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in each muffin liner, filling about 2/3 of the way full.
7. Drop small spoonfuls of raspberry puree over the cheesecake batter, then use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry puree into the cheesecake. Be careful not to mix it too much; you want to create swirls.
8. Bake the cheesecakes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until slightly set and the edges are firm but the center is still a bit jiggly.
9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecakes inside for another hour to prevent cracking. After they cool, transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
10. Once chilled, serve your Key Lime Cheesecakes garnished with additional raspberry puree or lime slices, if desired. Enjoy!

These delightful cheesecakes are rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The sweetness of the raspberry perfectly complements the tartness of the key lime, making each bite a heavenly experience. They are sure to become a favorite in your home!
