Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped
Toppings:
- 1 cup cherries fresh or maraschino
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- Optional: extra whipped cream and zest for garnish
Instructions
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan using a flat-bottomed glass. Chill while you prep the filling.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon and lime juice, both zests, and vanilla. Mix until creamy. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread filling over the crust and smooth the top. Tap gently to remove air bubbles. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
- Remove from pan. Top with cherries and pistachios. Garnish with whipped cream and zest if desired. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
