7 oz chopped white chocolate, plus 1-oz bar (optional garnish)
27 chocolate sandwich cookies
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, at room temperature
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tbsp grated lime zest
Lime slices or lime twists, for garnish
Instructions
Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with foil, extending it over
sides.
In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stir 7
oz white chocolate until melted. Grind cookies in a food
processor. Add 2 Tbsp melted white chocolate to cookies. Blend
well. Press into bottom of pan; refrigerate.
In a medium bowl, beat cream until peaks form. In a large bowl,
beat cream cheese, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
Beat in remaining white chocolate. Fold in whipped cream in 2
batches; spread over crust.
Chill until filling is slightly firm, at least 2 hours. Using foil to help,
lift cheesecake out of pan. Cut into 9 bars. Garnish with white
chocolate curls, if desired, and lime slices. (For curls, soften
chocolate bar in microwave; run a vegetable peeler along 1 long
side.)
