Great summertime cheesecake offering with the lime flavoring. Add more lime juice if you want--but no more than a couple of tablespoons is needed. I do add green food coloring to bump up the color--without it, it looks rather bland but you may prefer it as is. I do garnish with the lime slices for presentation effect--so pretty!

Extreme Vanilla overkill! Glad I tased Cream Cheese filling mixture before i put in pie crust! I added at least another 2 Tablespoons of lime juice. Vanilla and lime flavor fight. If I were to make again, I would increase the lime jiuce and leave out the vanilla. Filling somewhat soft, may consider adding some instant pudding mix to help set up filling.

Yummy! Will definitely make this again. Did not use a carton of whipped topping though.
