¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup fresh lime juice
Zest of 2 limes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp agar-agar powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add lime juice and zest; mix until well combined.
Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
In a saucepan, combine agar-agar powder with water per package instructions; bring to a boil until dissolved. Let it cool slightly, then fold into the cheesecake mixture.
Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight before serving.
