I adapted this recipe from one I found on pinterest ( link to original recipe at the bottom)

2 to 2 and ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs cracker crumbs

About 7 tablespoons melted butter just enough to stick but so the crust is still crumbly

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon sugar

3 (8 ounce) packages softened cream cheese ( I use one regular and 2 1/3 the fat cream cheese, you can also use plain creek yogurt for one of these as well. I will change the consistency of the cheesecake a little but it still works the same.

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup lime juice ( I personally am a huge key lime fan and next time I do this recipe I will probably add another ¼ a cup lime juice )

3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°F2 Make crust by combining the graham crackers with the butter and 1 tbs sugar. 3Stir so that all is coated with butter, but keep it crumbly.

4Press the crumbs onto the bottom and about half way up the side of an 8 inch springform pan.

Next combine sugar, vanilla, and cream cheese and blend with electric mixer until smooth.

Add lime juice and eggs and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.

8Pour the filling into the pan and bake for 60-70 minutes.

cheesecake is done when the top begins to turn brown. Remove from oven and cool. I did not serve until the next day so I left is in the spring form pan, covered and refrigerated
