Cheats Cheesecake
- 3 7/8 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/4 cups full fat cream cheese I use Philadelphia
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 lime large
- 1 mango large
- 1 packet digestive biscuits
- 1 3/8 cups oats optional
- 9/16 cup butter
- Remove the biscuits from the wrapper and place into a zip lock bag (make sure you remove the air before sealing). Using a rolling pin crush the biscuits onto fine crumbs, if you don't have a rolling pin you can use any weighted object.
- Gently melt the butter either in a sauce pan on the hob or in a bowl using the mircowave, do not let it go brown. Add the biscuit crumbs and the oats to the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture into a cake tin (I recommend the tins that have a loose bottom as it makes removing any cake much easier) flatten and press down firmly. Place in the fridge to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the icing sugar, mascarpone and cream cheese using a spoon. Grate the zest of the lime, squeeze all the juice from the lime and add to the mix
- Chop the mango as finely as you can, keep a small amount to the side for decoration, and add the rest to the bowl, mix thoroughly. You will find that the mixture becomes much softer and even a little runny, this is fine as it will set when left to cool in the fridge.
- Pour the cheese mix over the biscuit base, place your leftover mango in the center and if there is any lime zest remaining (maybe you missed a bit) sprinkle it over the top.
- Place in the fridge to chill for at least two hours in order for it to re-set.
