Elderflower and lime cheesecakes with greengage compote


It was our second wedding anniversary on Tuesday and we went out for a lovely meal to celebrate.  For pudding, Lu ordered a deconstructed lime and elderflower cheesecake.  I wasn't such a fan of the 'deconstruction' (blobs of cheesecake mixture on a plate with a shortbread biscuit) but the combination of elderflower and lime was delicious!  It inspired me to make this for dessert this evening for dinner with our friend Kirsty.  I think it would be really lovely with gooseberries but unfortunately couldn't find any at my local greengrocer's.  Greengages are a good replacement though and compliment the elderflower beautifully.  This would also be nice with ginger biscuits in the base, but I just added some ground ginger to malted milk biscuits.

Passion fruit, lime and ginger cheesecake


Always a winner - but remember to make it the night before so that it's properly set...

Honeycomb and white chocolate cheesecake


This is incredibly good but unbelievably rich - best to make it in small ramekins rather than one big cheesecake
