White Chocolate and LIme Cheesecake

A special treat!  A nice light tasting dessert that I found in Canadian Living 1995 (just a few years ago right).

2 packages soft lady fingers, halved lengthwise
2 packages cream cheese softened
1 cup sugar
6 squares white chocolate, melted
1/4 cup lime juice
1 envelope unflavoured gelatine
2 tsp finely grated lime peel
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
Strawberries and lime slices

Line bottom and sides of an 8 1/2 inch springform pan with ladyfingers, rounded side facing out.  Beat cream cheese on lowest speed of electric mixer until smooth.  Blend in sugar and chocolate; mix well.  Sprinkle gelatine on top of lime juice in saucepan.  Let stand 5 minutes to soften.  Stir mixture over low heat until gelatine is dissolved.  Blend warm gelatine and lime peel into cheese mixture.  Fold cheese mixture into whipped cream.  Pour into pan.  Chill at least 3 hours.  Garnixh with strawberries and lime slices.
