Frozen mojito cheesecake
- 50 g unsalted butter, cut into pieces (1 cm), plus extra for greasing
- 160 g Granita® or Butternut Snap biscuits® (or a mixture of both)
- 100 g sugar
- 2 limes, zest only, no white pith
- 10-15 mint leaves, plus extra for garnishing

- 1/3 cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp white Cuban rum

Recipe's preparation
- 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.
- Add lime juice and rum and blend a further 10 sec/speed 5. Transfer into a bowl and set aside. Clean and dry mixing bowl.
- Insert butterfly. Place cream into mixing bowl and whip without setting a time/speed 4, until firm. Be careful not to over-whip. Add reserved cheese mixture and combine 6 sec/speed 4. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula and mix a further 3 sec/speed 3.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the biscuit base. Cover with plastic wrap and return to the freezer for several hours (3-4 hours) before serving. Remove from freezer about 30 minutes before serving to soften a little. Then garnish with a little mint, slice and serve.
