Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow the cheesecake to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen, then cool for 1 hour longer. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Remove the sides of the pan and garnish with whipped cream and lime slices before serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
