Ingredients:
For a 23cm (or thereabouts) cheesecake. (Serves 8 or more people easily).
2x packets of ginger nuts ( I used Leda Gingernut cookies)
100g butter melted
3x 250 cartons cream cheese
1⁄2 cup sugar (if you leave out the Cointreau &/ or like thigsg a bit sweeter, then use 3⁄4 cup)
finely grated rind of a lemon & a lime
finely grated fresh ginger (about 1⁄2 teaspoon)
3 tablespoons lemon &/or lime juice
3 tablespoons Cointreau (optional)
3 large eggs
method:
1. Crush the biscuits - using food processor, or put broken biscuits in a bag and roll with rolling pin till fine.
2. melt the butter
3. pour butter over crushed biscuits and mix well.
4. Press biscuit mix into greased springform tin
5. Beat/ process the cream cheese, sugar, finely grated lemon & lime rind, finely grated ginger, cointreau (optional) until light & fluffy
6. Add eggs & mix well.
7. Pour mixture over biscuit mix and bake until frim - about an hour to an hour 1⁄2 at 150C.
This is best served chilled with fruit sauce (Just heat up some frozen berries and add some more cointreau to the berries with a little cornflour to thicken) and / or serve with yoghurt, cream or icecream.
