Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 Cups Digestive biscuits finely crushed
- 1/4 Cup butter melted
Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese at room temperature (equal to two packs)
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup whipping cream
- Juice of one lime
Topping:
- 1 Cup whipping cream
- Raspberries
- blackberries
- Zest of one lime
Instructions
- Grease, a 6 inch spring form pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center of oven.
- For Crust: In a medium sized bowl combine the digestive biscuits and melted butter. Press the crumbs evenly over the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the spring form pan. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
- For Filling: In bowl of your electric mixer place the cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Beat on medium speed until smooth. This will only take a couple of minutes. As you are mixing, scrape down the sides as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the whipping cream and lime juice and beat until incorporated. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour in the filling. Place the cheesecake pan in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes and then lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees F and continue to bake for about another 30 - 40 minutes or until firm and only the center of the cheesecake looks a little wet and wobbly.
- Important: The baking time can vary due to the differences in ovens, so make sure to check that the cheesecake is firm with only the center being a little wet and wobbly. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Let cool completely.
- Pour the whipping cream in the bowl of you electric mixer. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Remove your chilled cheesecake from the fridge and evenly cover the cake with whipped cream. Decorate with berries and lime zest.
- Keep chilled in the refrigerator until serving.
