Cheesecake fill

Leave the ingredients on the countertop for 30 minutes to allow them to reach room temperature. With a sharp knife, cut the vanilla pod down the middle until "butterflied". Put a little of the cream cheese into a bowl and smush the vanilla seeds into the cheese until thoroughly mixed in. Then add the remaining creme cheese, coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice and sugar. Mix well.

Gelatin mix

Mix the gelatine powder and the sugar. Mix lime juice and water and heat to boiling. Pour over the gelatine/sugar mix and stir until completely disolved.

Whip the gelatine mix into the cheese cake fill. Fold in the whipped cream. Pour the cheese mix on top of the butter cookie crust, cover and cool down in the fridge for 2-3 hours.

*Gelatin can usually be found near the puddings in the baking needs aisle
