Finely grind Digestive biscuits, mix with melted butter, one spoon of sugar and mix well. Press mixture into cake tin. Whisk yolks for 5 minutes, then add condensed milk, lemon juice and grated lime zest. Pour the mixture over the base and bake at 180°CC for 15 min. Once cold, spread on surface a thin layer of lime jam. Decorate with whipped cream.

Tips
Dry biscuits are perfect for making cheesecakes bases, as they combine very well with butter, that must be at room temperature.
