Difficulty:

Ingredients

  • 250g gingernut biscuits
  • 70g salted butter, melted
  • 140g white sugar
  • 20ml lime juice
  • 1 rounded tsp Australian Black Lime Powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 500g Philadelphia full fat cream cheese, 1 hr out of fridge to slightly soften
  • 350ml thickened cream (heavy whipping cream), cold
  • 20g dark chocolate, shaved
     

Directions

  1. Using a food processor, blitz gingernut biscuits into a fine crumb.
  2. Tip the crumb into a medium bowl and add melted butter, mix until well combined.
  3. Divide the mixture into 6 wide glasses that can hold around 250-300ml volume.
  4. Use a smaller cup to press down into the wide glass to tightly compact the crumb into an even surface, set aside in the fridge for later. In a large bowl mix sugar, lime juice, Black Lime powder and vanilla extract together with a tablespoon.
  5. Add the cream cheese and roughly stir the mixture together so the sugar isn’t loose in the bowl. Use electric beaters on a low speed first to incorporate the ingredients before increasing the speed. Beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  6. Add the cream and use electric beaters on a low speed to bring the ingredients together.
  7. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the cream starts to thicken and stiff peaks form.
  8. Divide the cheesecake mixture onto the crumb bases in the 6 glasses, using a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 6 hours to set. Sprinkle with dark chocolate before serving.
