Mojito Cheesecake

MOJITO CHEESECAKE What started as a novelty is rapidly becoming a classic. If you like Mojitos try this refreshing no-bake cheesecake with the flavour of tangy limes and smooth rum. Use good-quality white rum and the result will be superb. Substitute the Rum with Tequila and Triple-Sec or Cointreau and you will have a spectacular Margarita Cheesecake. Be careful because this will have the same effect of the drinks with the added pleasure of a great dessert. FOR THE BASE: • 300 g dry biscuits (Digestive are perfect but any dry biscuit will do) • 150 gr melted butter FOR THE STUFFING: • 300 gr ricotta • 150 ml fresh cream • 130 gr sugar • 3 lime • 60 ml rums • 4 sheets of gelatin • Mint FOR DECORATION: • lime • Mint leaves • Brown sugar Preparation Reduce the cookies to fine crumbles in a food processor. Add the melted butter and mix again. Use this compound to line a cake mold. Start at the edges and finish with the center carefully pressing and leveling with the back of a spoon. Place it in the fridge. Soak the gelatin in cold water for 10 minutes. In a bowl, prepare a cream mixing the ricotta cheese, sugar, finely chopped mint leaves, one lime peel and the filtered juice of three more limes. Work until you get a homogeneous compound. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Incorporate it to the cheese-based compound mixing gently from bottom to top. Dissolve the gelatin with the rum in a small casserole on low fire. Combine everything with the prepared mixture and gently blend with a spatula. Pour the mixture into the shell of cookies that you have pulled out of the fridge in the meantime. Level and let solidify in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Just before serving, decorate the mojito cake with slices and lime slices, fresh mint and dark sugar.
