Barbara's Low Carb Key Lime Cheesecake

(make a crust if wanted from any of various recipes)

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. lime juice (I used Nellie and Joe's Key lime juice)
1 c. AS
2 eggs, beaten
2 pkgs. (3 oz each) cream cheese softened
1/4 c. butter
1 c. whipping cream
1 1/2 t. grated lime peel
whipping cream, whipped

Filling: In small saucepan, soften gelatin in lime juice 5 minutes. Blend in AS and eggs. Over a medium heat bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat. Boil gently 3 minutes, stirring constantly. In small bowl, combine cream cheese and butter; beat well. Pour in hot lime juice mixture; beat until smooth and well blended. Refrigerate until cool, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. In medium bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold in cooled lime juice mixture and lime peel. Spoon into cooled pie crust. Refrigerate until firm about 2 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and lime slices.
