TIME : 2016/2/25 18:31:17

An exquisite and light, deconstructed rhubarb cheesecake, this dish is perfect for a summers evening and will definitely impress your guests! Why not try serving this dish with a glass of Braccheto dacqui piemonte. Braccheto is a local red variety from Piemonte with a very fruity and flowery taste and smell which would go very well with the flavours in the dessert. Serves 8-10 people.
