Crust:
1 1/2 cups certified gluten-free quick-cooking oats
2 tablespoons sweet white sorghum flour
2 tablespoons almond meal flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons canola oil
Cooking spray
Cheesecake:
2 (8-ounce) blocks 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
4 ounces block-style fat-free cream cheese (about 1/2 cup), softened
1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon grated Key lime rind
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh or bottled Key lime juice
Lime slices, halved

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0.
2
To prepare crust, place first 5 ingredients in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add oil; pulse 2 to 3 times or until combined.
3
Wrap 2 layers of foil around bottom and outside of a 9-inch springform pan; coat inside of pan with cooking spray. Firmly press crust mixture into bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of pan. Bake at 325u00b0 for 5 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4
To prepare cheesecake, place cheeses in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add sugar and next 5 ingredients (through salt); beat well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add Key lime juice, beating at low speed until blended.
5
Pour cheesecake batter over cooled crust. Place springform pan in a shallow roasting pan; add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake at 325u00b0 for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center barely moves when pan is touched. Turn oven off; cool cheesecake in closed oven 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven; run a knife around outside edge. Cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Garnish with lime.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
