Zesty lime cheesecake

I love baking desserts, or better say baking in general (hence the name of my blog-Bake My Day Happy), but almost all desserts that I bake have a reduced amount of sugar. Some months ago I had bought a few limes that were juicy and I thought to use them in baking. When I made a lime juice cheesecake at home, everyone  literally devoured it within the evening ( me included). So since it was a success I’ve decided to share it in my blog

In case you want to give it a try to surprise your guests, now its your chance.
