Strawberry Lime Cheesecake Tart
This cheesecake tart is creamy, smooth, tangy and delicious! The whipped cream really makes this light and airy - less dense than a normal cheesecake. The cinnamon flavor from the crust is yummy and adds another depth of flavor to the tart. The strawberry lime coulis is what makes this really special. It's sweet with hints of lime. It takes this heavenly dessert to a whole other level.
