Method
Step 1
In a plastic bag (or using a food processor), crush the digestive biscuits finely with a rolling pin or a large spoon.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine digestive biscuits, 30g Icing sugar, salt, and melted butter, stirring until the mixture is the texture of wet sand.
Step 3
Put the biscuit mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture down with your hands (or using the back of a spoon) to create an even layer. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, 125g icing sugar, tequila, lime juice, lime zest and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the biscuit base. Sprinkle salt on top of the cheesecake. Freeze for one hour.
Step 5
Transfer the frozen cheesecake onto a cutting board, peeling away the parchment paper. With a sharp knife, slice 1-inch strips horizontally, then vertically, creating little cheesecake cubes (I did 6 rows/columns). Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Serve chilled straight from the freezer.
