Ingredients:
– 1 cup crushed graham crackers
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 2 teaspoons lime zest
– 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Lime slices and zest for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
5. Add the sour cream, lime zest, and fresh lime juice to the cream cheese mixture. Blend until fully combined and no lumps remain.
6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until fully combined, ensuring you maintain the airy texture.
8. Pour the lime mousse mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best flavor, chill overnight.
10. Once set, release the springform pan and decorate with lime slices and extra lime zest before serving.
