ingredients

• 2 cups gingersnap cookies, crumbled

• 3 tablespoons apricot jam

directions

1. In a food processor grind together the gingersnaps and almonds, until almonds are finely chopped. Add melted butter and process briefly.
2. Line 6 mini muffin tins with foil and grease. Divide crumb mix among wells, and press into to bottom and up sides to make the crust; chill 30 min's.
3. Using a hand mixer, beat together mascarpone, cream cheese, sour cream, honey and lime rind. Spoon into chilled shells and chill again one hour or overnight.
4. When chilled, place mango pieces on top of cheesecakes. Melt jam just until liquid, strain and either brush or drizzle over mangos; let set 30 min's then remove from foil liner and enjoy!
5. You can try changing up the flavours a bit like using pineapple cream cheese or different kind of jam!
