Blueberry, Lime and Ginger cheesecakes
Ingredients: serves 4
10 ginger biscuits (such as Ginger nuts ie not the thin ones) crushed
25g unsalted butter, melted
150g full-fat cream cheese
finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed lime plus extra to decorate
150ml double cream
8 tbsp blueberry jam plus extra to serve (optional)
How to Prepare:
Put the biscuit crumbs into a small bowl and pour over the melted butter. Fork together until the crumbs have absorbed all the butter. Divide the mixture into four portions and spoon each of these into a martini glass or tumbler. Pat down gently to compress the crumbs and make a firm base for the cheesecakes, Transfer to the fridge.
Put the cream cheese, lime zest and double cream into a large mixing bowl and mix gently until the cream and cream cheese are just combined. Add the blueberry jam and gently stir it through the mixture so it is ripple through with swirls but not fully blended.
Remove the glasses from the fridge and divide the cheesecake mixture between them. Chill for a minimum of one hour, or overnight, before serving.
Decorate with lime zest and a dollop of extra jam to serve if desired.
