Cheesecake for Shinya

Last year I'd made a Japanese colleague a lemon drizzle cake with raspberry topping for his birthday. This year he put in a special request for a cheesecake. Now, I'm not a big fan of fridge cakes - preferring the oven to work some magic on the ingredients, so felt it needed a bit of magic to enliven it up.

A lime and ginger mix went down a treat - with ginger syrup mixed into the gingernut biscuit base, and stem ginger pieces thrown in with the lime juice and cheesecake mixture. Very rich - as you can see, the office struggled to finish it.
