Description

This is a gorgeous summery recipe making the most of the quintessentially English elderflower.

Method

  1. 1

    1. Place the digestive biscuits in a large plastic bag. Hold one end of the bag and using a rolling pin, crush until they resemble fine breadcrumbs.

    2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the crushed biscuits and sugar until they are fully combined.

    3. Press the biscuit mixture firmly into an 8โ€ round tin with a lift up base and place in the fridge to set.

    4. Wash the lemon and grate the skin using a fine grater or use a zester. Place this zest together with the cream cheese, icing sugar and lime juice in a food processor and mix well.

    5. Then slowly add the cream and elderflower cordial until it is a smooth thick paste.

    6. Spread this mixture on the biscuit base and refrigerate.

    7. Just before serving, sprinkle the cheesecake with the zest of the lime.
