How to make Kaffir Lime Leaf Cheesecake ?
When we decided to add GREEN (current Commonwealth Games inspired) colour to our line of Superfood Powders which would be the one? Kaffir Lime Leaves or Pandan Leaves - so we manufactured and launched both.
I fell in love with Kaffir Lime when we had this wonderful Kaffir Lime Chicken Curry by Jackie M and also the Chicken Coconut Broth with Mushrooms called Tom Kha Gai! Love the aroma... and not the leaves that kept sticking in your mouth! Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder to the rescue!
Catherine Teo made you this gorgeous cheesecake and she's great; totally co-operated and came up with this Green yummiest Kaffir Lime Leaf Cheesecake...... Move over Matcha - now these are the new Green!
