Birthday Cheescake

[silverseastar]

Last night and continuing into this morning I made two lime margarita cheesecakes for my oldest friend's 40th birthday party today. She is allergic to wheat so I made a crust with nuts, cornflakes, sugar, butter and lime zest. It tasted great on the spoon and baked into a crunchy cookie like texture so I'm hopeful. I made candied orange and lime

They sound delicious and I sincerely doubt they will suck, unless someone is sucking up the deliciousness on their fingers...

I wish I was allowed to eat cheesecake, I'd happily taste test them for you... unfortunately, I'll have to fantasize and wait to read your post birthday review. But you know, I'm going to dream of the yum. 8)

Here is a virtual slice: |>

I honestly was stunned at what goes into cheesecake. Not your lighter fare.

*hugs*

Thank you, kind lady, for the virtual slice... I'm sure your friend is properly appreciative of your wonderful gift of taste and time.

I am a bit of a cheese fiend and am suffering from terrible withdrawal pangs... cheesecake is one of the few sweet tasting things I like, so you've helped de-rail a double whammy. 8)

Italian style cheesecakes made with Ricotta are on the lighter end of cheesecakes, as much as there isn't a truly light side to them. My mother used to make a lemony, citrusy one that was excellent, and not nearly as heavy as the traditional sort we see in North America. I bet you could use a non-fat ricotta and lighten it up even more. If you get the madness to try one, there should be some good recipes online if i can't find the recipe in my stash of cookbooks.

You are such an amazing friend to go through such pains to make it perfect for your friend. I'm sure if it's not the best, she will surely appreciate the effort.

Good luck!

Thanks :) In fact it was a huge hit, including the crust which I will forever use with this kind of recipe again!

Yum!
