Ingredients
75g butter
200g ginger nut biscuits, crushed into crumbs
300g Mascarpone
400g cream cheese
160g icing sugar
zest of 6 limes
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Line the base of a 9 inch round loose-base or spring-form tin with baking parchment.
Melt the butter gently in a saucepan and stir in the biscuit crumbs. Press the mixture into the base of the tin, pressing it down well. Place in the fridge to harden.
Blend the Mascarpone, cheese and icing sugar with a hand whisk until they are completely combined. Stir in the zest and vanilla essence.
Spread the cheese mixture over the cold base and cool in the fridge for about three hours. Sprinkle with some extra lime zest before serving, if you wish.
