How to find inspiration to create a recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few days ago, my dearest friend Leticia \u2014passionate about food styling and photography\u2014 presented her foodie friends, including me, with a picture by food photographer Joanie Simons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a beautiful light green pistachio tart<\/a> decorated with blueberries and blackberries. We all loved it, and Leti asked us how she could reproduce Joanie\u2019s tart. She didn\u2019t care about the flavor but the look. So I thought making a no-bake cheesecake would be a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was looking for a pie crust, and I recommended Beth Le Manach\u2019s Graham crackers crust<\/a>, which allows you to hold a deep cheesecake. With the crust problem solved, Leti made a key lime pie-flavored no-bake cheesecake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect excuse to make a no-bake cheesecake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I saw Leti\u2019s photo, I couldn\u2019t help but start dreaming of a no-bake mojito cheesecake.  After all, the decoration included some spearmint sprigs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making that cheesecake became an obsession\u2026 until my son Andres (17) asked me if I could make a lime cake for his friend Chris’ birthday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No-bake<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bingo! That was a sign. All I was waiting for was to make this glorious fancy mojito cheesecake! Chris is our neighbor, a young soldier working at the Southern Command of the U.S. He was turning 24 and loves mojitos<\/a> (and who doesn\u2019t?) So, I had the perfect excuse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it taste a mojito cheesecake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The truth is this cake tastes like heaven. Like a mojito, it has subtle notes of rum and spearmint; it’s like a spiked limeade, plus the tangy flavor of the cream cheese. The texture is creamy and silky. And the best part is you don’t have to bake it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
