Great Gateau

Tonight, I had two kinds of cheesecake - one of which can be improved upon en France. The first was a crawfish and chicken sausage cheesecake app - sounds gross, but ooh la la, tres delicieux. The second was a blueberry cheesecake with a lemon crust (dessert if you didn't already figure that out) - not so fast there, it was more like a graham cracker crust with lemon curd underneath. I can do better.

So, for the first taste of the menu au Chateau, here you go:

Blueberry cheesecake - tall, rich, purply-blue enchanted cheesecake with creamily blended farm-fresh blueberries and oh so yummy fresh French cheese on top of a sugar cookie crust with just a hint of lemon zest and lemon juice. Top with a dab of creme fraiche and eat by candlelight on the back patio - c'est magnifique. I'm gonna try it out this weekend.
