The line at the dessert table convinced me this cake was a winner when I served it at a party. It makes a pretty presentation, baking up nice and high. The zippy lime and gingersnap flavors really come through.

Fabulous!!! I made this last night for a bunco party. The women at first thought this was professionally made due to its appearance. Two changes I made: substituted with neufchatel cream cheese, 1/3 less fast, and used 1/2 gingersnaps and 1/2 lemon cookie wafers for crust--due to a comment saying gingersnaps were overpowering--perfect combo. I decorated top of cake with 5 lime slices, 1 long lime curl and 5 gold chocolate coin candies to look similar to the above picture. Most everyone was taking 2-3 slices. Very re-freshing flavor, velvety smooth texture; most definitely will make again!

My daughter made this dessert and it was wonderful. She even used Splenda instead of the sugar which it still turned up great

I made this for thanksgiving wanting to try something different. It was awesome. The texture was really smooth and the flavor was great. I thought the gingersnaps were over powering, and next time I will probably use Nilla wafers or something like that. Will definately make again.
