* ½ lime, zest and juice
* 1-2 pineapple rings in juice, cut into 8 small wedges

Directions
* Put the biscuits in a small, reusable freezer bag and bash gently with the bottom of a saucepan or rolling pin, to make fine crumbs.
* Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and stir in the biscuit crumbs.
* Spoon the buttered crumbs into the base of a glass tumbler. Use the back of a spoon to press down lightly.
* Put the cream cheese, double cream, sugar, lime zest and juice in a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons of the pineapple juice from the can and whisk until thickened.
