Lime Cheesecake with a Strawberry Compote
Lime Cheesecake with a Strawberry Compote
By our head chef Faliero Lenta
Preparation time – 20 minutes – Cooking time – 10 to 12 minutes
Waiting time – 6 hours
Ingredients – for 6 people
250g double cream
100g caster Sugar
500g cream Cheese
3 lime – zest and juice
250g digestive biscuits
100g butter
250g fresh strawberries
150g sugar
Start by semi-whisking the double cream and caster sugar together. They should form a light fluffy mixture. Fold in the cream cheese gently and add the juice and zest of your limes.
For the biscuit base melt your butter in a hot pan. Crush your biscuits to a fine mixture and add to the butter. Spoon the mixture into a cake tin or dish of your choice.
Add the cheese mixture to the base and set aside to rest for 6 hours.
Before serving your cheesecake boil the strawberries in a pan over a high heat for 5 minutes. Fold the sugar in as you stir. Once the strawberries have reduced pour the mixture into a blender and pulse for 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately over your cheesecake slices.
