Instructions

The Base

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and pour into an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan with removable bottom. Press and spread evenly using a spoon.

The Filling

In a bowl, add cream cheese and whisk until fluffy, using a handheld whisk. Then add in sugar, lime juice and zest. Continue whisking until everything is mixed together. Set aside.
In another bowl, add in whipping cream and whisk until stiff peaks. Now add it into the cream cheese mixture and fold gently using a spatula until everything is well combined.
Pour mixture into our prepared pan and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Chill in the coldest part of the fridge for minimum 8 hours or until it fully set.

Serve

Run an offset spatula all round the cheesecake. Place the pan on a glass and remove the side pan. Place the cheesecake on a cutting board and slice it into 16 equal pieces.
