Ingredients
- 150 g dry coconut cookies or other type of dry biscuits
- 1 cs soft butter, melted
- 2 gelatin sheets Vahine
- 2 limes
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 300 g Philadelphia cream cheese
- 20 cl heavy whipping cream 30% very cold
Prepare in advance
- Mix the coconut cookies then add the melted butter, mix well and tamp in the bottom of 4 pastry circles (mine are 7,5cm in diameter). Place them in the refrigerator while waiting for the rest.
- Soften the gelatin sheets in cold water.
- Meanwhile, take the zest of a lime, then mix it with the powdered sugar.
- In a bowl, beat the Philadelphia cream cheese. Then add the sugar / zest mixture, and the juice of the 2 limes in order to obtain a supple creamy texture.
- Put a very small amount of water in a saucepan, heat, remove from heat and dissolve the gelatin in it. Let cool, then add to the cheesecake mixture.
- Whip the whole liquid cream into whipped cream (you can put the whips and the container in the freezer for 10 minutes so that the whipped cream sets faster).
- Gently fold this whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture with a spatula / maryse.
- Line the circles to the top and smooth with a spatula.
- Leave to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better). You can also put them in the freezer for at least 2 hours to have a "frozen" effect. In this case, you will have to unmold them and wait 20 minutes before tasting ...
