Zesty Lime Cheesecake Bars

Zesty Lime Cheesecake Bars stacked on plateI love the addition of lime juice and zest to these cheesecake bars because they bring some zing to the creaminess. The graham cracker crust has some added cinnamon to really give it a nice dimension. This is an excellent dessert for barbecues and picnics when you want something decadent like cheesecake, without the need of forks and plates. Enjoy!

Oh, if you go the heavy cream route, try 1/2 cup lime juice first. If you do sour cream, the 3/4 should be on the money. Just don't go so far that the filling is runny :)

Do you mean the opposite? I'm confused as to why you would use more lime juice (¾ cups) when you use sour cream since the sour cream is already sour. Should it be ½ cup of lime juice when using sour cream while ¾ cup when using heavy cream? Thanks.

I think it is the amount of liquid, rather than the sourness. Sour cream is much thicker than heavy cream and has less water content.

what are the amounts of the ingredients for the crust? no brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, or butter amount listed in the ingredients.
Sounded like a great recipe but not sure what other errors are in the recipe.
