4. Add the melted butter with the crumbs and mix together.
5. Put the base into the bottom of the cake tin and pat firmly down whilst making sure the bottom is evenly spread and covers the whole area. I find using you hand helps.
6. Stick in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set.
7. For the top, squeeze the juice of 5 limes, remove any pips and then put aside for later along with some of the skin.
8. Whisk up the whipping cream until thick.
9. Add to the cream the mascarpone cheese, sugar and the lime and whisk until all is mixed together.
10. Remove the tin from the fridge and spoon over the mixture..
11. Smooth out the top.
12. Great over some lime zest and squeeze it a little for the speckled effect.
13. Put back in the fridge until set (2hrs).
14. Take out of the fridge, remove the tin and wax paper.
15. Enjoy!.
