Ingredients

100g butter, melted, plus a little for greasing

200g Asda Digestive Biscuits

1 unwaxed lemon

2 limes

2 x 200g packs Asda Full Fat Soft and Creamy Cheese

397g can condensed milk

500g bag Asda Frozen Summer Fruits

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp cornflour

Method

1
Lightly butter the inside of a 23cm round loose-based cake tin. Cut a round of greaseproof paper to fit the base and put it in – if you don’t have any it’s OK to skip this step. Put the biscuits in a freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a pan, add the crumbs and mix together. Tip into the tin and press down with the back of a spoon to make a base. Leave to chill in the fridge.
2
Using the finest side of a grater, grate off the coloured zest (but not the white pith) of the lemon and one of the limes. Put in a large bowl. Cut each fruit in half and then squeeze the juice into a measuring jug – you should have about 120ml.
3
Add the soft cheese and condensed milk to the zest and mix together well. Using a wire whisk, gradually whisk in the juices. Pour into the tin and refrigerate overnight or for at least four hours.
4
Put the frozen fruit in a pan with the sugar and gently heat until the sugar dissolves. Mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a smooth paste and then stir into the fruit. Heat, stirring until it boils and thickens. Tip into a bowl and cool.
5
Loosen the clip at the side of the tin and ease it off. Slide the cheesecake on to a large plate on the greaseproof paper (or the base of the tin). Serve with the fruit sauce.
