Chocolate Lime Baked Cheesecake Recipe

Chocolate Lime Baked Cheesecake

Ingredients:

200g Double Chocolate Maryland Cookies
75g Unsalted Butter
750g Cream Cheese
200g Caster Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Egg Yolks
4 Limes (Juice Only)
1 Springform Cake Tin
1 Roasting Tray

1. Foil the cake tin, so it is water-tight

2. Bash the biscuits in a zip-lock plastic bag until they have a crumb consistency, then melt the butter in a saucepan and add the cookie crumbs and mix until they have combined.

3. Line the bottom of the foiled cake tin with the cookie mixture, making sure to press the mix down until it is quite compact. Leave to set in the fridge and pre-heat the oven to 180^oc/Gas Mark 4

4. Beat the cream  cheese until it is smooth, then add in the sugar.

5. Beat in the eggs one by one, then add in the yolks, finally add in the lime juice. Now put on a full kettle to boil.

6. Pour the lime cream cheese filling onto the chilled biscuit base and place the tin in a roasting tray and pour the boiled water around the cheesecake tin to come about halfway up the tin.

7. Cook for 1 hour- checking at 50 minutes. It should feel set but not rigid (It should have a little wobble to it!)

8. Once set, take the tin out of the oven, remove the cheesecake from its tin carefully, peel off the foil and leave to cool completely.

9. When it is completely cooled place in the fridge for atleast 20 minutes before devouring (or serving), ideally leave in the fridge overnight.

Enjoy!
