This is lovely! The spicy heat of the ginger biscuits works well with the sharp tang of the lime. And the light, creamy texture is unlike baked cheesecake.
Crush the biscuits to a powder in a food processor or with a mallet in a plastic bag. Melt the butter and add, mixing thoroughly, then press hard into the bottom of 20cm springform tin. Put in the fridge for at least an hour.
Dissolve one packet of jelly by cutting the jelly into cubes, putting them into a heatproof jug or bowl adding 100ml boiling water and stirring briskly. The instructions on the packet might ay to use more water, but don't! If 100ml water doesn't fully dissolve the jelly, don't add more water. Instead put the container of water and jelly into the microwave for one minute or so. Leave to cool fully.
Whisk the evaporated milk until it's light and foamy. Add in the cream cheese and beat until all lumps are gone and the mix is smooth. Add the cooled jelly, the zest of 2 limes and the juice of 3 (hold onto the remaining zest for decorating purposes).
Pour this creamy mix on top of the biscuit base, spread smoothly with your spatula, then put it back in the fridge for hrs.
When the 3hrs are up, make the second packet of jelly by dissolving it in 100ml boiling water. Allow to cool completely, then stir in a teaspoon of edible green glitter. Carefully pour this ov the top of the cheesecake so it covers it all, sitting in a thin layer.
Back into the fridge with it for another hour. Decorate with splodges of whipped cream and the remaining lime zest.
