Waitrose key lime cheesecake recipe

5 replies

Hi all!

I’m desperately searching for a Waitrose recipe my mum used to make. It was a lime cheesecake with a chocolate chip cookie base and it definitely had lime jelly in it. She got it from one of the recipe cards they have in the shop and we can’t find it anywhere online! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If two mumsnetters could come up with John Major’s chicken recipe this should be no problem! It sounds delicious.

I did a Gemini Aibsearch and it suggest this - seems like it might be it

Zesty Lime Cheesecake with a Crunchy Biscuit Base
This recipe was a known Waitrose recipe card.
Preparation time: 20 minutes, plus 2 hours chilling.
Total time: 2 hours 20 minutes.
Serves: 8.
Ingredients

  • For the Base:50g unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 150g pack Waitrose Reduced Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies, crushed
  • For the Filling:135g pack Hartley's Lime Jelly, cut into small pieces
  • 410g can Carnation Light Evaporated Milk, chilled
  • 200g pack Waitrose Half Fat Extra Light Soft Cheese
  • 3 limes
Method
  1. Prepare the tin: Line the base of a 20cmx 5cm round loose-bottomed sandwich tin with baking parchment.
  2. Make the base: Melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the crushed biscuits (cookies). Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared tin and chill.
  3. Dissolve the jelly: In a bowl, dissolve the jelly pieces in 100ml boiling water. Stir with a spoon, then set aside to cool completely.
  4. Whip the milk and cheese: Whisk the chilled evaporated milk in a large bowl (using an electric or balloon whisk) until it's light, fluffy, and doubled in volume. Then, whisk in the soft cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Add the lime and jelly: Take the finely grated zest and juice of 2 of the limes. Finely slice the remaining lime and set aside. Add all the lime juice and half of the zest to the cream cheese mix, then whisk in the cooled jelly. (Keep the rest of the zest chilled.)
  6. Set and chill: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the biscuit base and chill for 2 hours or until completely set.
  7. Decorate and serve: Decorate with the reserved lime zest and slices of lime.
