Lime Cheese Cake

I had promised to bake Birthday cakes for my brother-in-law. Since we were going to be many people I decided to bake two cakes and two cheesecakes. The most popular one turned out to be my Lime cheesecake.

It is very easy to make, the bottom consists of digestive crackers, white chocolate, and butter, it does not need to be cooked in the oven either. I always increase the amount of lime zest and juice because I know that it appeals to all Iranians when it is sweet and sour!

You can use lime coloring agent of some sort if you want to play with colors, I don’t like using coloring and therefore I avoid it – I just want you to know that you have that possibility.

Have made the cake a few times and found that it is easiest to grate the chocolate before melting it. You can, of course, chop it but then it will take a little longer to melt it.

The garnish is, of course, a personal matter, I garnish it with melted white and dark chocolate, using gold powder and a little-dried zest from the lime or well-chopped pistachio nuts. But if you are in a hurry you can just sprinkle freeze-dried raspberries or whatever you like really.

Let your creativity flow 😊

Base: 
100 grams of butter
75 grams of white chocolate
150 grams digestive biscuits

3 pieces of gelatin leaf

4. Mix the chocolate and butter mixture with the biscuit crumbs.
5. Spread the mixture evenly in an oven form with a removable edge, about 24 cm in diameter.
6. Put it in the fridge to become solid.
