1/4 cup butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light rum
1 tablespoon grated lime peel
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 eggs
1 cup (1/2 pint) whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 teaspoons light rum
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint

  • Bake at 300°F 55 to 65 minutes or until edge of cheesecake is set at least 2 inches from edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved. Turn oven off; open oven door 4 inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Run small metal spatula around edge of pan to loosen cheesecake. Cool in pan on cooling rack 30 minutes. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, run small spatula around edge of pan; carefully remove foil and side of pan. In chilled medium bowl, beat topping ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Cut cheesecake into slices; top each slice with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh mint sprig, if desired. Cover; refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

THE REAL MOJITO



The Real Mojito image

This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

10 fresh mint leaves
½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste
1 cup ice cubes
1 ½ fluid ounces white rum
½ cup club soda

Steps:

  • Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
