Lime & Mascarpone Cheesecake

This is a great favourite in our house. Doesn’t get made terribly often as it’s not that great for you I am sure, but far better than anything out of a box.

Ingredients:

Packet of ginger nut biscuits 250g

60g butter

Two limes

Two tubs of mascarpone

Small tub of cream cheese

50g icing sugar

Method:

Whizz your biscuits in a food processor until they’re like crumbs.

Melt your butter in a saucepan, take off the heat then stir in biscuit crumbs until well coated througout.

Pack the biscuit base mix into a cake tin and press down well with the back of a large metal spoon. Refridgerate for half an hour at least.

In a bowl, combine the mascarpone with the cream cheese and the zest and juice of two limes and the icing sugar.

Spoon the mix over the cold biscuit base and refridgerate again. Ideally overnight or all day at the least.

Enjoy! I find this particularly lovely served with fresh plump raspberries.
