Peter’s Birth­day Par­ty Cheese­cake with Lime Juice

(serves at least a dozen)

1/2 pack plain diges­tive biscuits
1/2‑cup (ish) melt­ed butter
500 grams mas­car­pone cheese
500 grams ricot­ta cheese
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
cast­er sug­ar to taste
juice of 2 limes
4 sheets gelatin

Crush diges­tive bis­cuits and mix with enough melt­ed but­ter for it to go moist but not so much that it is a heavy mix. Put that in a large flan dish (I think his was about 15 inch­es across and quite shal­low), spread out even­ly and press it down fair­ly firm­ly. Put that in the fridge for 30 mins to cool and set.

Mix the cheeses and yoghurt till smooth, then add sug­ar to taste (I like a quite un-sweet cheese­cake, but it’s up to you) and lime juice.

Mean­while pre­pare the gelatin accord­ing to the instruc­tions, and when melt­ed, add 2 large spoons­ful of cheese mix­ture and mix well with the gelatin. Then add all the gelatin to the cheese mix­ture and mix well. Pour the mix onto the bis­cuit base, lev­el and then cool for a cou­ple of hours. Done.
