I remember back in the day, we didn’t have all them fancy ingredients, but now you can get stuff like limes and ginger at good prices. You can make this cheesecake real quick, and everyone’s gonna love it. Trust me, I’ve seen my family gobble it up in no time!
Ingredients you gonna need:
- 200g digestive biscuits (you know, them simple ones)
- 100g melted butter (melt it real good)
- 400g cream cheese (don’t skimp on this)
- 200g sugar (just regular white sugar works fine)
- 2 limes (we need that zest and juice)
- A piece of ginger (grated, it gives a good kick)
- 300ml whipping cream (gotta make it nice and creamy)
How to make this yummy cheesecake:
First, crush them digestive biscuits. Just put ’em in a bag and bash ’em with a rolling pin till they’re crumbs. Mix those crumbs with melted butter. Now, press that mixture into a cake tin to make the base, nice and firm. Put it in the fridge for a bit while you do the rest.
Now, take your cream cheese and sugar, mix ’em together till they’re smooth, no lumps, okay? Add in the lime juice and zest, that’s where the zing comes from! Grate some ginger, not too much, just enough to give a little heat. Mix it all up real good.
Whip the cream in another bowl, but don’t overdo it. Just enough till it forms soft peaks. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture, nice and gentle. You don’t want to knock out all that air.
Take your biscuit base out of the fridge, and pour that creamy lime-ginger filling right on top. Smooth it out with a spatula so it looks nice. Put the whole thing back in the fridge for at least 4 hours. That’s how it sets.
When it’s ready, you can garnish it with some lime slices or even a sprinkle of grated ginger if you’re feeling fancy. But honestly, it’s good just as it is!
Why this cheesecake is so good:
- It’s got that fresh lime flavor, real zesty, wakes up your mouth!
- The ginger gives it a bit of warmth, a nice little surprise.
- It’s creamy but not too heavy, so you can have a big slice.
- You can make it ahead of time, which is always handy when you got people coming over.
So, if you’re looking for a dessert that’s easy, cheap, and delicious, give this lime & ginger cheesecake a try. Ain’t nobody gonna complain about a slice of this at the end of a meal!
