- Transfer the mixture into an 18–20 cm (7–8 inch) springform pan and press it firmly and evenly across the bottom.
- Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until the base becomes firm.

- Add the green grape juice and lime juice, then mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.

- Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight until the filling is completely firm and fully set.
- Once firm, carefully remove the cake from the pan.
