Any excuse to serve up a cheesecake, especially when baked New York style. These are tiny, so are extra slimming. Ahem. I used a loose-bottomed mini-cheesecake pan, but they can also be made in a mini-muffin tin, or even in cupcake cases.
For a non-alcoholic version, add 30ml water and 20ml lemon juice instead of tequila and lime. Wine+ Rich and creamy desserts need sweet wines combined with high acidity to cut through the richness. We’d recommend a pudding wine from the Vouvray in the Loire Valley such as Chateau Gaudrelle Vouvray Reserve Speciale from Waitrose Cellar (£10.99). Its full-bodied and smooth character is delicious and the acidity will balance this rich pudding perfectly.
