New Favorite Flavor

OMG, today I was experimenting. I am hosting a BBQ at my house this weekend to celebrate a mixture of things, my grandparents anniversary, my grandmother's birthday, my parent's anniversary and of course Father's Day. So I thought I would make cheesecake as it is of course my signature dessert, but I wanted a nice light flavour that would go perfect with the meal.

The meal will consist of Sate Chicken Skewers or Lime/Garlic/Rosemary Pork Skewers, fresh vegetables, homemade potato salad, and a green salad. So its essentially a nice light meal.

So the sate skewers have a little spice to them, the pork skewers have the lime, and the rest of the meal is very old school, so I thought a nice lemon meringue pie for those who don't eat cheesecake, and it got me thinking, a nice lemon cheesecake might just be a perfect addition.

Well my personal favorite for cheesecake is the unbaked version, which is simple to make and quite light and fluffy, only normally I combine a small amount of alcohol with the flavour I want and the gelatin. Well I didn't have any lemon liquer, so instead I removed my gelatin and went right to LEMON Jello. I wasn't sure this would work as I do have to cook my gelatin mixture with my eggs, but it seems to have worked perfectly, and the taste.. OMG its fantastic. I think with a little dark chocolate grated on top tomorrow this will make an excellent addition to the dessert table.

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there!!! I hope you get what you want and have a great day!
