Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the crumbs with the melted butter, then press firmly into the bottom of the pan using the bottom of a glass. Chill in the fridge.

Tip: The butter re-solidifies in the fridge, binding the crust together.
2 ✓

Zest the limes and squeeze their juice. Finely chop the mint leaves.

Tip: Chop the mint immediately before use to prevent oxidation (blackening).
3 ✓

Beat the room temperature cream cheese with the powdered sugar, lime juice, zest, and mint until silky.

Tip: If the cream cheese is cold, it may stay lumpy. Take it out of the fridge 30 mins before starting!
4 ✓

Sprinkle the gelatin over the water, let it bloom for 5 mins, then warm gently in the microwave until liquid.

Tip: Never boil gelatin; it breaks down the protein structure.
5 ✓

Pour the warm gelatin into the cream cheese mixture while mixing continuously.

Tip: Work quickly to ensure even distribution.
6 ✓

Whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cheese mixture.

Tip: Air bubbles make the cheesecake light; be careful not to deflate the cream!
7 ✓

Spread the filling over the crust and chill for at least 4 hours. Garnish with fresh lime and mint before serving.

Tip: Run a warm knife around the edge of the pan before releasing to ensure smooth sides.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the filling bitter?
You likely grated the white pith of the lime. Use only the green zest!
What crust should I use?
