Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy; gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lime rind, juice and vanilla. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes, or until set.

To serve, carefully remove sides of springform pan. If desired, garnish with lime slices; this is very pretty.
