Key Lime Light Cheesecake

Key Lime Light Cheesecake

This is a very light cheesecake. Since there’s cheese in it, it is moist and soft, and because of the egg contents, it is fluffy and light. Texture wise, it is softer and denser than your regular sponge, but lighter than the storebought Japanese cheesecake.

This key lime cheesecake smells wonderful and is light and yet satisfying. I didn’t thaw the cream cheese nor the egg whites before whipping them, if I did, it probably rises a little more. But that little bit of difference is inconsequential for me, as I just bake whatever I liked, and didn’t have time to plan ahead.

Enjoy your bake too! This is guilt free eating. 🙂
