1. Put the biscuits into a strong plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they look like breadcrumbs. Tip into a mixing bowl.
2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and pour over the biscuit crumbs. Mix well, and then press the mixture evenly into a round 20cm shallow loose-bottomed tin. Leave in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes.
3. Put the mascarpone and condensed milk into a large bowl. Carefully grate the lemon and limes and add the zest, then squeeze in the juice as well.
4. mix the lemon and cheese mixture until thick - like stiff double cream and pour over the biscuit base.
5. Leave to set in the fridge for a couple of hours
5. Decorate the top with fresh fruit or lime zest
Chef's Tips
To make an impressive version I tend to set the biscuit base in small individual tins with loose bottoms - about the size you would use for Yorkshire Puddings
