Lime & Dark Chocolate Cheesecake 

An interesting and unusual flavour combination, tastes wonderful in a cheesecake...

Ingredients: 600g Cream Cheese
                          400g Tin of Condensed Milk
                          5 Limes (Zest & Juice)
                          200g Digestive Biscuits

                          50g Unsalted Butter
                          3 Leaves of Gelatine (Soaked in Cold Water)

Method: 

1. Line a 9" springform tin with butter, before covering with greaseproof paper on the bottom and around the sides.

2. For the base, blitz the biscuits, dark chocolate chips and butter in a food processor. Once the mixture comes together, turn it out into the tin and press it into the bottom of the tin and up the sides, using your fingers, to make a crunchy crust. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.

3. For the filling in a stand mixer, use the paddle to mix the cream cheese, condensed milk and lime zest. 

4. In a small saucepan melt the gelatine with the lime juice, once fully melted pour gradually into your cheesecake mix. Mix it thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated.

5. Spoon your mixture into the top of the cake mould and smooth out. Place in the fridge overnight to set and serve.
