01 - In a medium bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
02 - In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and lime juice, mixing well.
03 - In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
04 - In a small saucepan over low heat, combine guava marmalade and water. Stir until smooth and slightly runny. Allow to cool to room temperature.
05 - Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust. Drizzle half of the guava marmalade over the filling and use a skewer or knife to swirl gently. Add the remaining cheesecake filling and repeat swirling with the rest of the marmalade.
06 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
07 - Carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan. Slice and enjoy chilled.
