Lime Cheesecake

I love lime cheesecake, especially because that zesty lime flavor is so refreshing! By adding the lemon zest, it will add an extra bit of zing! To top it off, a bit of lime peel rolled up will look like a rose which makes it more attractive! I know that the base is a bit thick, but now I know that a bit less biscuits will make it better. This did taste great anyways!

Lime Cheesecake Recipe:

Ingredients (9" cheesecake):

  • 175g of digestive biscuits
  • 75g of butter
  • grated zest 1/2 lemon
  • grated zest and juice of 3 limes
  • 120g of sugar
  • 400g of full-fat cream cheese
  • 150mL of double cream

Crush all of the biscuits into fine crumbs.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, then mix with the fine biscuit crumbs. Be sure you mix thoroughly.

Press this crumb mixture into a 9 inch spring form tin

Place the cream cheese in bowl and mix until it becomes smooth.Then Add the sugar, the lemon zest and the lime zest and juice. Mix together until it is smooth.

Whisk cream until it has soft peaks . Then fold it in to the cream cheese mixture.

Put the mixture on top of the biscuit base and hold a bit back to pipe on in a minute, then smooth the mixture and pipe on top of the cheese cake.

Chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
