Pour water and granulated sugar into a saucepan, then heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cook for another 2–3 minutes. Then add the grated lime zest and juice, finely chopped mint and rum. Stir and let stand for 10–15 minutes. Strain.

Beat the cream cheese, mascarpone, powdered sugar and heavy cream. While mixing continuously, slowly add the strained syrup until the mixture is combined.

Pour the cream over the base and leave the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
