    In a bowl, combine crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 1" up the side of a greased 10" springform pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and flour; beat well. Beat in eggs on low speed just until combined. Stir in lime juice, vanilla and food coloring if desired just until mixed. Pour into crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.

    buny's note: I am thinking this may also be good using crushed pretzels or cinnamon graham crackers or even shortbread cookies for the crust..
