You all should know by now how much I do love making cheesecakes right? Well if you have just joined me then you are about to find out. This time round I went for a simple baked cheesecake however if you did want to change it up abit more why not add cocoa powder or milk chocolate for a slight change.
Baked white chocolate and vanilla cheesecake with a hint of ginger in the base, served with rhubarb, lime and raspberry compote. Rhubarb is from my garden and limes are from a friend the raspberries I picked in summer locally and couldn’t eat them all so froze them down. Simple but good dessert and who doesn’t like cheesecake.
