I have a recipe for a Lime and Ginger dessert which is really tasty.

Ingredients:
200g pack of ginger snap biscuits, crushed
50g (2oz) butter, melted
2x 250g tubs mascarpone cheese
40g (11/2 oz) icing sugar, sifted
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 limes

1. Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter and press into the base of an 18cm (7inch) spring sided, or loose bottomed cake tin.
2. Place the mascarpone, icing sugar, lime zest and juice in a bowl and beat together. Spread over the biscuit base. Chill for 30 mins.

a really easy peasy recipe is:
melt a packet of lemon jelly (for a lemony cheesecake) in about a cup of hot water, combine a tin of pineapple in light syrup, a small tub of yoghurt, a block of philadelphia cream cheese, a small container of cream (same size as tub of yoghurt) and when the jelly mixture is cool, add in to this mixture and pour over your base. Yum. you need to let it set overnight.
