Recipe By:ANNRICHARDSON
"This recipe uses condensed milk and sour cream. Fabulously easy. . . a summertime favorite! If you have time, a homemade graham cracker crust is better! Garnish with whipped cream and thin slices of lime if you like."

Ingredients

  • 1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
  • 3 cups sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 3/4 cup key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, and lime rind. Mix well and pour into graham cracker crust.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 5 to 8 minutes, until tiny pinhole bubbles burst on the surface of pie. DO NOT BROWN! Chill pie thoroughly before serving. Garnish with lime slices and whipped cream if desired.


The same way you would make a graham cracker crust for a cheesecake you could put that in a pie plate or tin for this crust to make it gluten free.  Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter with 1 package crushed gluten free graham cracker crumbs (s'morables).  Press into dish.  

To make low fat you could use fat free sweetened condensed milk and fat free sour cream.

Gluten Free Cheesecake

Cheesecake (Gluten-Free)


INGREDIENTS

    • 40 ounces cream cheese room temperature
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 16 ounces sour cream room temperature
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice room temperature
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prep a large spring form pan as follows: Place a sheet of parchment paper over the inside bottom of the springform pan, fit the rim and lock in place. Trim excess paper from the underside of the pan. Place a large sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil on counter. Place the locked pan in center and raise up the foil to top rim. Crinkle around the outer top of rim. Using some firm butter, fill in the inside lower rim of pan, using your finger to form a smooth lining. (like caulking a bathtub). Press in the graham cracker crust.  Place in freezer while you make the batter. Grease the sides of the pan and cut parchment to fit around the in sides as well, parchment should be an inch or two above the rim of the pan.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar till smooth. Add sour cream. Add remaining ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well incorporated (about three minutes), scraping down sides of bowl several times while mixing to prevent lumps).  Fold in eggs one at a time. (Folding in eggs last prevents so much cracking).
  3. Remove the spring form pan from freezer. Place pan onto a dishcloth onto counter and pour batter into pan. (So it's not 'loud' when you temp it).
  4. With your palms around the outside rim of the pan, GENTLY lift (about 1") and drop down pan onto the towel. Rotate an inch or so and repeat a few times to raise and release air bubbles from batter. (this will help keep your cheesecake from cracking).
  5. Set the spring form pan into a water bath. (A water bath is a baking pan or heat proof container larger than your cake pan with about an inch or two of water above the bottom of the cake pan). This is for even cooking and to preserve moisture).
  6. CRUST -- One box of Gluten free S'moreables graham crackers and 2 to 3 Tablespoons melted butter.  Crush the graham crackers to a fine texture, add the butter and mix well.   


  1. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. WITHOUT opening oven door, reduce temperature to 250°F and continue to bake for an additional two hours or until center of cake registers 150F with a digital thermometer.
  2. Remove from oven, water bath, and outer foil. DO NOT unlock the spring form pan! Place on cooling rack for 60 minutes.
  3. Loosen cake from sides by going between the cake and the pan with the edge of a knife (if you didn't line the sides with parchment paper). Refrigerate for at MINIMUM of eight hours, but overnight is best.
  4. Unlock and remove the side of pan.
