Ingredients




2 tablespoons Softened butter to coat pan
1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup Unsalted butter melted
2 pounds Cream cheese at room temperature
1 1/2 cups Sour cream divided
12 ounces Soft goat cheese - (1 ½ cups)
2 larges  Eggs
2 cups Sugar
1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Lime juice
2 tablespoons Honey

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter the sides of a 9-inch spring-form pan. 2 In a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until thoroughly blended, and press the mixture into the bottom of the spring-form pan. 3 In a mixer beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1 cup of the sour cream, goat cheese, eggs, and sugar, continue beating for 4 minutes. Add vanilla and lime juice and beat until incorporated. 4 Pour the filling over the crust in the spring-form pan and bake until brown and springy-firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove from the pan. 5 In a small bowl combine the remaining sour cream with the honey, and mix until smooth. Spread on top of the cooled cake.
