No bake lime mascarpone cheesecake
Report
A not-too-sweet, creamy, lime-flavored cheesecake that's smooth and delicious (plus easy too).

Instructions
- Put the ginger snaps in a food processor and pulse until you have a breadcrumb-like consistency. Add the melted butter and pulse to mix the butter through and form gently sticky crumbs.
- Tip the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8in/20cm cake tin with a removable base and spread the mixture flat, if you like slightly higher to the sides.
- Mix together the mascarpone, lime juice and zest and maple syrup/honey until well combined. Taste the mixture and add a little more sweetener or lime to taste.
- Tip the mascarpone mixture over the base and spread out carefully and evenly. Use a spatula or side of a knife to smooth out the surface.
- Chill the cheesecake for ideally an hour or more (can be made the day before needed) before taking out of the tin and serving.
For topping (if using)
- Mix together the raspberries, sugar, lime and chopped mint in a bowl and mix to combine and dissolve the sugar a little. Let sit around 15-20 minutes, stirring now and then and breaking up the raspberries slightly. You'll find more juices come out of the berries and sugar will completely dissolve. Serve over the cheesecake.
Notes
- For gluten free, nut-date base use 1 cup/105g pecan nuts and a packed ⅔ cup/145g medjool dates and blend them together to break up and combine. Press into the base of the cake tin as you would crumbs and proceed with rest as above.
