Ingredients

1 1/4 cup vanilla wafer cookie crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature

2 cups sour cream

1 1/4 cup sugar

3 tablespoons "Grand Mariner" Liqueur

3 tablespoons gold tequila

3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

2 teaspoons grated lime zest

4 large eggs

Very thin lime slices (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cookie crumbs and butter in medium bowl until blended. Press mixture onto bottom and 1-inch up sides of 9-inch diameter spring form pan with 2 3/4-inch high sides. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup sugar, Grand Mariner, tequila, lime juice, and lime peel, and beat until well blended. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

Pour filling into crust. Bake until center is softly set, about 50 minutes. Maintain oven temperature. Mix remaining 1 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lime juice in small bowl. Pour over cheesecake. Using spatula, smooth top. Bake cheesecake 5 minutes longer. Transfer pan to rack and cool completely. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight. Run knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Remove pan sides. Garnish cake with lime slices.

Serves 10 - 12
