16 ounces cream cheese (2 8-ounce blocks, softened at room temperature)

06 -
Extra lime slices for serving (optional)
# Instructions:

# Notes:
01 -
A store-bought crust works well, but homemade can be used too
02 -
Regular limes can be used instead of key limes - you'll need about 2 large limes for juice and 1 for zest
03 -
Light cream cheese can be used, but regular is recommended for best taste (avoid fat-free)
