Make a biscuit base by crushing digestives and adding melted butter. Make a topping of 2x250gm tubs of Mascarpone, 40gms icing sugar and zest and juice of two limes. Simple and delicious.

Society.....are Graham Crackers american, never seen or heard of them here

[society]

Yelenots, the Chinese and some Asian stores carry it. Or just use digestives for crusts in place of Graham crackers. It's not exactly the same, but good enough.

[danoid]

yes indeed graham crackers are an american thing....i must prefer digestive biscuits for a cheese cake base....

as far as recipes, this one from gordon ramsay and co0okalong live was great
