Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow it to cool completely.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth in another bowl. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until evenly incorporated.
Pour the lime mousse filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight until set.
Slice and serve chilled.
