The Ultimate Lime Layered Cheesecake

The Ultimate Lime Layered Cheesecake
Prep: 30 Minutes - Cook: 10 Minutes - More effort - Serves 16
Proudly supported by

This dessert is part key lime pie, part cheesecake, and part trifle. It’s perfect if you’re entertaining as it’s completely make-ahead.

Ingredients

250g ginger nut biscuits

125g unsalted butter, melted

600g cream cheese

100g icing sugar

3 limes, zested (save the juice to use in the glaze)

300ml double cream

For the glaze

4 gelatine leaves

100g caster sugar

6 limes, juiced, and pared zest of 3

Method

  1. Whizz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor, or tip into a food bag and crush with a rolling pin. Mix with the melted butter, then press into the base of a 20cm springform cake tin. Chill in the fridge until needed

  2. Put the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime zest in a bowl, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Tip in the double cream and continue beating until the mixture is completely combined. Spoon the cream mixture onto the biscuit base, working from the edges inwards and making sure there are no air bubbles. Smooth the top of the cheesecake down with the back of a dessert spoon. Leave to set in the fridge while you make the glaze.

  3. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water. Tip the other glaze ingredients into a saucepan with 200ml water. Cook gently until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup is simmering. Drain and squeeze the gelatine of any excess water, then stir into the hot syrup to dissolve. Leave everything to infuse until just warm, then sieve the syrup into a jug. When cooled, pour the syrup over the cheesecake and put in the fridge overnight to set. Carefully remove the cake from the tin before serving
