Thankfully, this month we were allowed to switch the order of our baking assignments. I had an opportunity to make dessert for my Tuesday quilt group, so I chose the cheesecake as the perfect dessert. Plus, I had all the ingredients on hand. (I had been collecting cream cheese for a short while.) To jazz it up a bit, I picked some limes off the tree. I love limes, and they added just the right amount of flavor to the cheesecake.
I was glad that I had my super Kitchen Aid, though, since there was so much filling. My regular-sized KA would have struggled, I'm sure. I wrapped the springform pan snugly with 2 sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil to protect against leaks. I did have to bake it longer than the recipe stated, so I went by appearance rather than time. The end result was just right.
I really liked everything about this cheesecake, especially the flavor and texture, and so did my friends. In fact, after it was gone, I really missed having my evening sliver for dessert! Another good feature is its versatility. It truly is a basic recipe, allowing for many flavor combinations.
Thanks to Anne of AnneStrawberry for a delicious choice for December. When you check the TWD blogroll, you may find a variety of desserts this week, but all will be delicious. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Looks fantastic - I'm making mine today (maybe with some Meyer lemons) and I hope I get that altitude! Happy holidays!
Oh so you just wandered into your backyard to pick limes? I am jealous, jealous, jealous!
I did a plain version of the cheesecake, and I thought it was really good. Now, though, I can't wait to make the butterscotch!
Happy Holidays!
Looks yummy! I can't wait to make this.Happy holidays!
I totally agree - I made mine with lemon and added a passion fruit sauce, and it was fantastic. And I'm not usually a fan of cheesecake!
Oh, your cheesecake is perfection, just plain and simple lime perfection! We loved it too, even with the leak mine developed.
