  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F degrees.
  • Grease and line a spring form cake tin with parchment paper.
  • Mix the base ingredients together until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Blend or beat the cream cheese, eggs, cream, sugar substitute, lime juice and rind together. I use a hand whisk but a hand blender or elbow power will do nicely.
