Ingredients
- 300g Ginger nuts crushed finely
- 100g butter melted
- 500g cream cheese
- 397g can condensed milk

Instructions
- Grease a 9 inch springform cake tin
- In a large bowl mix the crushed biscuits and the melted butter well
- Press the biscuit mixture into the tin and up the sides to a height of approximately 3cm
- Chill in the freezer for at least ten minutes whilst you prepare the mixture
- Using a mixer, whisk the cream cheese until really soft and lump free
- Add the condensed milk gradually mixing well each time
- Add the sugar, lime juice and zest, and the vanilla extract and mix really well
- Pour the mixture into the biscuit base and smooth the top
- Chill in the fridge for about three hours but ideally overnight
- When ready to serve remove the springform tin and decorate the cheesecake with fresh fruits
Notes
Obviously can be made with gluten free biscuits for a gluten free dessert
It is also nice if you add 200g of melted good quality white chocolate for an even more decadent and naughty dessert after the condensed milk has been added. Make sure the chocolate is cool though
If you like a stronger ginger taste (mine was made with children in mind) add some finely chopped stem ginger to the biscuit mixture
