About

This zesty tangy cheesecake makes a perfect dinner party dessert -citrus flavours are so refreshing after a main meal. You can use limes, lemons or oranges in any combination you want. I love using ginger with citrus but if you are not partial to ginger you can substitute digestive biscuits or graham crackers instead.

Ingredients

For the Base

300 g/10 oz ginger biscuits or cookies
150 g/

Method

Crush the ginger biscuits to fine crumbs in a food processor or blender, or use a rolling pin to crush the biscuits in a clean plastic bag. Stir the melted butter into the biscuit crumbs in a bowl and then press into the base of the prepared tin using the back of a spoon.
