- Grease and line a springform cake tin (22 cm) and set aside.
Place biscuits and butter into mixing bowl and blend 10-20 sec/speed 5, until combined and mixture is moist.
- Transfer mixture into prepared cake tin and spread evenly over base, pressing down slightly to make a firm crumb base. Transfer to the freezer while you prepare the filling. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
Place sugar, lime peel and mint leaves into mixing bowl and chop 10-15 sec/speed 9. Scrape down sides of bowl and repeat, as required, until all peel and leaves are finely chopped.
- Add cream cheese and mix 1 min/speed 4, until well combined and fluffy. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl and repeat, if required.

This is delicious!! Perfect to have about a summer BBQ
This tasted Devine. Lots of compliments, even though I took it out of the freezer for too long before serving it (about an hour but it was in the fridge) and it became too soft and a bit runny.
OMG, I’m desperate for this dessert to come out of the freezer! Licking the bowl was pure heaven 😋
I subsitutued the base for 1/3cup almonds, 1/3cup dates, 1/2cup desicatted coconut and dash coconut oil. great recipe
The perfect dessert for summer. Everyone loved it.
I have made it quite a few days before I needed it, covered it and froze it. Just leave it out to defrost a good half hour before you would like to cut it xx
I made this originally for Christmas, and now make it regularly for guests, delicious and easy dessert that is made day before so it's one less dish to cook on the day.
About to try. How long can it be kept frozen before using
Delicious and very easy. Left out the rum as the kids were having it. Will be making this one again. It served 8, if I was making it for a large group I'd double the filling
Very easy to make. I added more lime juice for extra zing.
