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.
