    This is ok, but to me the flavor is not quite there yet. I don't feel that the lime flavor is obvious enough. It took a longer time to sit in the fridge than 20 mins.

    This the easiest recipe I have made. For diferents flavors a just changed the chocolate crust to regular and the lime juice to any tipe of fruit and is great. I have made so far with guava, passion fruit and in Thanksgiving with whole can cranberries.

    I usually make the Cheesecake Factory recipe, but I decided to try this because all of my family and friends dig key lime desserts. It came out great! I didn't use a chocolate crust because I had graham crackers on hand. I make whipped cream for on top and my sister made some last minute raspberry sauce. Very yummy!

    1 1/2 lbs = 3 8oz pkgs of cream cheese

    Wanted to try this BUT does it really only use one 1/2 pound (8 oz of cream cheese? The recipe reads: " 1 1/2 pound cream cheese...." OR should I be reading it as: "1 1/2 pound (24 oz cream cheese...." Just didn't seem like enough and didn't want to "waste" the time and other ingredients if infact it should be more. OH, am new to making this type of desert. Couldn't POST this without entering a rating so the RATING I am giving means nothing because i have not made this, because of the other ratings given I will also give this a high mark. Thanks for the help.

    This is sooooo good. Light, creamy, tart, just plain yummy. I even used fat free cream cheese adn splenda, but left the eggs alone because I've never been brave enough to use the fake egg mix in a cheesecake. We thought it was even better with some fat free cool whip on top. And I used pepperidge farms chessmen for the crust. Package is perfect size for this recipe.

    i'd recommend a few more cookies for the crust -- i had to crush a few extra. great cheesecake, creamy flavor!

    made it twice and came out equally great both times. super easy recipe, which i can see myself improvising with different flavors in the future. i just love the tangy lime flavor against the creamy cheese texture. i used 1/3 less fat cream cheese. i made at least 10 people try it and everyone loved it.

    this was fabulous, per all the rave reviews of my friends. I knew, in advance, to use less lime than per the recipe, as you really need to be careful, otherwise you can over do on the stronger flavors.
    Thanks to Nigella.

    This is a very good cheesecake. The chocolate wafers make the crust much easier to cut than chocolate grahams. The texture is wonderful, very light and creamy. It was a little too tart for my taste, however, so I served it with a barely-warm chocolate sauce.
