Lime Cheese Cake

The first recipe out of that little booklet sent for Christmas from our friends in France. Thanks to the pink colored ladyfingers this wonderful cheese cake looks a bit fancy. The reciprocity of sponge with desiccated coconut and cream cheese with lime was a very refreshing flavor beside all the sweet Christmas cookies.
Those who don’t have friends in France can buy these ladyfingers (biscuits roses de reims) via internet. I even found a blog with a recipe to do them at home – franzoesischkochen.de, english translation available. In Reims they’re usually savoured with champagne. Dip them into the beverage and let it melt in your mouth. Germans mostly invite for a cup of coffee and like to serve cake with it. That’s why I chose this recipe first.
