    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?

      Thank you for this recipe, have them setting in the fridge right meow. Taking them to a friends tonight for dinner, added young livings lime essential oil instead of the zest and juice! Flavour is fantastic! Glad google landed me on your page today!

      My other half is a big cheesecake fan (and we both like mojitos!). These look perfect and are a beautiful way to gently encourage a bit of portion control :o) Will try this recipe the next time I can grab some finger limes!

        Hi Daniela,

        Yes, you could make the components the day before, but I would leave assembling them in serving glasses until the last minute so that the crumble doesn't go soggy. 🙂

        Have a wonderful Christmas and let me know if you have any other questions.

        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.
