For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

For the filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, lime juice, rum, lime zest, and chopped mint. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
To make the topping, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, rum, and chopped mint until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake and garnish with additional mint leaves.
