Lime Pie is the best!!!! Take 4 limes, grate off the rind and then juice them. Put 1 pottle (275ml or so) of fresh cream, 1 tin of condensed milk and the juice and rind in a bowl and stir up (no need to whip or anything). Make a biscuit crumb crust, pour over the lime slosh. Refridgerate for at least 6hrs, overnight is best. Some kind of chemical reaction between the lime juice and hte cream makes it set. for a quick crumb crust just whizz one packet of plain biscuits and stir in about 200g melted butter.

Unsweetened condensed milk is another name for evaporated milk.

This is a basic recipe that you can add different flavours to. Use a 23cm springform cake tin.
Base 250g of plain biscuit 125g butter melted
750g cream cheese 2 cups cream, 1 & 1/4 cup sugar 5 tsp gelatin (soak in 5 tbs of water and set aside)
Crush biscuits till fine then add melted butter. Press into tin and refrigerate.
Beat cream cheese and sugar, scraping sides from time to time till smooth. Add cream and beat on low speed till well combined. Microwave gelatin for 30 secs and add to the cream cheese mixture. Add flavour and pour into the tin and chill.
Flavours Depending on the size of your limes I would add juice and zest of 3 or 4 limes
Or zest and juice of 3 medium lemons or two large lemons.
Other flavours - Vanilla filling. once filling has set add a layer of berries on top and make up a pkt of berry jelly in half the amount of water and pour on top to set.
Vanilla and chopped up mars bars, passionfruit, rosewater, chocolate ganach swirled in, few tbs of caramel condensed milk, passionfruit and melted white chocolate, Kahlua and white chocolate or simply just use your imagination for flavour

:) I wondered that too - not too many limes here at present otherwise I would test it out on a small quantity.

I found the lime cheesecake alittle white ago on trade-me, made it 4 times now and it yummy and so quick. I looked at limes at New World and they were $39.00 a kilo. Planted a lime tree last year, so just praying for it to grow.!!!.

Jessie, this is an adaption of a lemon"cheesecake" recipe which has been around for fifty years!My book in which the recipe is printed, was published inFeb 1961 and I have been making the lemon version since then. Now I cant wait to try the lime recipe.
I always use gingernut biscuits for the base.

Just in case anyone is interested, this is the lemon recipe.
GINGER SNOW CHEESECAKE
Filling: Juice of 3 medium size lemons Rind of 2 lemons 1 tin sweetened condensed milk 1/4 pint cream
Base: 1/2 lb gingernut biscuits 4 oz butter
Crumb the biscuits in food processor and mix with melted butter. Line bottom of pie plate and place in fridge to chill.
Whisk the cream, then gradually add the condensed milk, finely grated lemon rind and slowly stir in the lemon juice. ( The juice causes the mixture to become thick and set) Tip the mixture onto the base and return to fridge.

I made jesses981's recipe again today ...only had caramelised condensed milk (didn't want to go out in the snow etc) so thought what the hell & it's turned out well. So easy & so tasty. Limes are cheap here atm ...well they were last time I bought them.

as marcs no8 but instead of gelatine l use 1 lime jelly and the 5tbsp over warm water leave to cool, but, not set.By the time you have made the base jelly should be usable
