• In a seperate bowl make the Lemon Jelly with 5ml boiling water. Leave this to cool.
• Put cheese, ¼ pt cream into a bowl and beat together.
• In another bowl, beat yolks and sugar together till thick and creamy. Add the sugar and egg yolk mixture to the cheese mixture.
• Stirr in the the Lime and Tequila marmalade, and then the the jelly, to form your cheesecake mixture.
• In a seperate bowl – beat the egg whites till stiff.
• In another bowl, beat the rest of cream until it’s thick.
• First fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, followed by the egg whites
• Take the cake tin with the biscuits from the fridge, and pour the cheesecake mixture into the tin and leave in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for 6 hours.
• When it’s ready, open the tin to remove the paper from around the cake. Decorate as desired, serve and ENJOY
