- Put mascarpone, cream, lime zest and juice into a bowl and sieve in the icing sugar. Whisk together until thick.
- Line a tray with baking paper, you can use a little of the mascarpone mix to stick each corner of the paper down. Place the food circle on the baking paper and place 1 tablespoon of the biscuit mix in the ring. Press down to make a firm base with the bottom of a clean glass. Spoon in the cheesecake mix into the ring. Carefully remove the ring, wipe off any cheesecake reside, then repeat the process across the baking sheet for the other 9 cheesecakes.

- Drizzle: Put the ingredients in a pan. Melt together. Sieve to remove lumps. Add cream reheat. Serve at room temperature, will not pour straight from the fridge. To serve garnish with extra zest, crumbled biscuit with the drizzle.
