After the meal, Gui brought out this citrus cheesecake for dessert. I decided to try it, since Mari and Gui have never made anything I didn\u2019t like. Because of my aforementioned relationship with cheesecake, I thought I would try a few bites, then give the rest to JF, who loves any and all forms of cheesecake. \u00a0But, oh, was I wrong. \u00a0I ate the whole slice\u2026then I had another one!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is without doubt the best cheesecake I have ever had. \u00a0It has bits of lemon and lime zest, and it\u2019s made with fresh lemon and lime juice, so it\u2019s delicious. Plus, to seal the deal, one of the ingredients is sweetened condensed milk, a must in the Latin world of baking. \u00a0Yummy. \u00a0I\u2019m so happy to have tasted this cheesecake, and to have such wonderful friends, and because now I can say I like cheesecake\u2026as long as Gui makes it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n<li>8-oz. cream cheese, at room temperature<\/li>\n<li>Juice and zest of 1 lemon<\/li>\n<li>Juice and zest of 1 lime<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 graham cracker pie crust<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>In a medium bowl, mix together the condensed milk, cream cheese, lemon juice and zest, lime juice and zest, and the sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Pour into the graham cracker pie crust.<\/p>\n<p>Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is firm. \u00a0Let cool on a rack until no longer warm.<\/p>\n<p>Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight, and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Makes 1 cheesecake.<\/p>\n<p><em>Original recipe by Gui M., published with his permission.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is without doubt the best cheesecake I have ever had.
