Individual White Chocolate and Lime Cheesecakes

Ingredients:

• 1 package plain gelatine
• 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
• 2 8oz packages cream cheese, room temperature
• 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 tbsp lime zest
• 2/3 cup white chocolate morsels, or any good quality white chocolate, melted
• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

Method:

1. In a small glass bowl heat lime juice till just warm. Stir in gelatin and set aside, stirring occasionally.
2. In a large mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, sugar, and zest.
3. To melt chocolate, place in a small bowl and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Just microwave until you can get a smooth chocolate paste. If you do it too much you will have to start again…..so be careful not to burn it. You can also melt the chocolate o the stove top over a simmering pot of water. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate or it will seize up.
4. In a separate bowl whip cream.
5. Pour gelatin mixture and white chocolate into cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped cream.
