August 16th - Pudding required....but time short. But I had an idea. On the way back from holiday we had stopped for a meal and shared a gorgeously delicious lemon and lime cheesecake. How difficult could that be? I trawled the internet and came up with a Mary Berry recipe for Lemon and Lime Cheesecake.....but chilling overnight? I could not wait that long. Now I know that Mary Berry is a cooking goddess but I'm afraid I took massive liberties with her recipe. Sorry Mary! I crushed ginger biscuits for the base and mixed with melted butter. To get the topping to set quick I whipped a pack of cream cheese with half a tin of condensed milk and added the zest of 2 lemons and a lime. Then I used more cream, whipping it before mixing with the cream cheese mixture. Result! A bit denser than the cheesecake we had eaten out but none the worse for that. And it did set in a few hours.
You have probably noticed the improvement in photography - I did not take it!
