    Mojito Cheesecake Parfaits with Finger Lime Caviar

    Mojito's, they would have to be one of my all time favourite cocktails. Not only because they taste amazing, but because each time I sip on a Mojito they evoke memories of our holidays in Fiji, with long lazy days spent by the pool sipping on this tropical delight. My fiance and I have been to Fiji twice, even getting engaged there on our most recent trip, so Mojitos and Fiji will always hold a special significance to me.

    So I couldn't wait to see whether these Mojito Cheesecake Parfaits would actually taste like a Mojito, and indeed they do.  Delicious layers of biscuit base, cream cheese filling infused with lime, mint and rum, topped with finger lime caviar. Tropical, decadent and insanely delicious.  They are also deliciously simple to make too, requiring only a few steps, before the finally assembly of ingredients, and time to set in the fridge.Mojito Cheesecake Parfaits with Finger Lime Caviar

    These little delights are my submission to the latest Sweet Adventures Blog Hop, with this months theme being layers. This months hostess is the lovely KC from Capers of the Kitchen Crusader.

    So tell me, what is your favourite cocktail?

      I have been interested in finger limes for a while. This cheesecake parfait looks so pretty with the finger lime caviar on top. I think I might have to look into growing some finger limes!

        Good luck growing your own Finger Limes. I'd love to grow my own too but sadly don't have enough room in my garden.

      Mojito is one of my favourite cocktails too! Also love bellinis made with fresh white peach or blood orange, and anything with ginger beer! These look absolutely gorgeous and great whether you're serving two people or a crowd - nice and easy to scale up or down.

        Hi Erin,I agree, I love citrus based cocktails too. As for your question about finger limes, you can find more information here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_australasica and here http://www.australianfingerlime.com.au/ They really are wonderful and bursting with flavour. I used the Pink Ice variety.
