                Instructions

                       

                        Prepare the Oreo Crust

• Pour the mixture into the bottom of a mold or springform pan.
• Press it down firmly to create an even layer
• Refrigerate it for 10 minutes to allow it to set while you prepare the filling.

    

                      Make the Cheesecake Filling:

• Mix the Soften cream cheese with the zero-calorie sugar substitute until smooth.
• Heat the milk and dissolve the softened gelatin sheets in it, stirring until fully melted.
• Add this mixture to the cream cheese and sugar blend.
• Whip the light cream until it reaches a yogurt-like consistency, and fold it into the cheese mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.

    

                Divide and Flavor the Cheesecake.

• Split the cheese mixture into two equal portions
• In one half, add the matcha powder and mix until the matcha is fully incorporated for a vibrant green color. 
• In the other half, squeeze the juice of half a lime and stir it in, giving it a refreshing citrus flavor.

                        Layer the Cheesecake:

• Pour the lime-flavored cheese mixture over the Oreo crust, spreading it evenly

• Refrigerate for 10 minutes to allow the layer to firm up slightly.

• After 10 minutes, pour the matcha-flavored cheese mixture over the lime layer and smooth the surface.

• Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure it sets completely.

                       Prepare the Decorative Cream:

• Soak the whipped cream with lime peel overnight for extra flavor.

• When ready to serve, whip the cream with the zero-calorie sugar substitute until soft peaks form, and the cream holds its shape with visible lines.

• Using a spoon, casually press the whipped cream onto the top of the cheesecake and garnish with lime peel for a final touch of zest.
