Ingredients

For the base:
175g/6oz digestives, light brand (Gingernuts can also be used if light brand of digestives not available)
45ml/3tbsp sunflower or light olive oil

For the filling:
450g/1lb Lactofree Soft White Cheese
2 large eggs
115g/4oz caster sugar
Grated zest of 2 limes and juice from 1

For the topping:
400g/14oz strawberries, de-hulled and sliced thickly
3 passion fruit, halved and pulp removed
Icing sugar for a light dusting

You will need a 20cm/8inch loose-based, spring–form tin.

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
2. Place the biscuits in a processor and pulse until they become crumbs. Place in a bowl, add the oil and mix together well. Spoon into the base of the tin and level off flat to form the base for the cheesecake. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the base is lightly browned. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
3. Reduce the oven temperature to 160C/300F/Gas 2. Meanwhile, place all the filling ingredients into a large bowl and beat together until smooth. Pour onto the cooled base and return to the oven for approximately 45 minutes.
4. Allow to cool (the cheesecake may get a slight crack as it cools). Place in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
5. Toss the strawberries with the passion fruit pulp.
6. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin before serving – it’s easier to leave the cheesecake on the base and place on a serving plate. Spoon over the strawberries and passion fruit and dust with icing sugar just before serving.

Health notes

1/8th of this delicious cheesecake will provide just over 1/4 of a woman’s recommended daily fat allowance but it tastes great and you don’t have it every day! A serving also contains approx ¾ of one of your 5 a day and the cheese filling provides valuable calcium.
