Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vanilla-flavoured crumbs, (such as 18 Nilla wafers, crushed)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- Filling:
- 1 pkg unflavoured gelatin
- 2/3 cup lime juice
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp grated lime rind
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 tbsp tequila
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 small mangoes
Preparation
Line side of 6-inch (1 L) springform pan with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches (5 cm) extending above rim; set aside.
In bowl, stir together vanilla crumbs, coconut and butter until moistened; press over bottom of prepared pan. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool on rack.
Filling: Meanwhile, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup (75 mL) lime juice; set aside.
In heatproof bowl over saucepan of simmering water, stir together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, lime rind, remaining lime juice, orange juice and tequila; cook, stirring often, until thickened and mixture falls in ribbons when spoon is lifted, about 12 minutes.
Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Refrigerate until cold and as thickened as raw egg whites, about 40 minutes.
In bowl, whip cream; fold half into lime mixture. Fold in remaining cream. Scrape onto crust; spread evenly. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Peel, pit and slice mangoes; fan over top of cheesecake.
