A new dessert is now featured at Café Blue at Monte Azul. It is a Limòn Mesino Cheese Pie. The pie consists of a cookie crumble crust of galletas Maria and butter. Galletas Maria is a very famous cookie in Costa Rica, the equivalent of Graham crackers or Nilla wafers in the USA. The body of the pie is a mixture of homemade goat ricotta, cream cheese, whipped cream and the delicious limôn mesino. Limòn mesino is a large, bright green fruit that doesn’t have seeds. It is similar to a Key Lime but much larger and juicier. It is very easy to grow in the tropics and fruits at an early age and small tree size. Monte Azul has several of these trees and their fruit inspired the creation of this dessert.
The Limòn Mesino Cheese Pie has been a big hit at Café Blue. Last week it was served to a group of 11 from our neighbor’s at Cloudbridge. I am happy to say that all of the plates came back to the kitchen empty. Here are a few photos of Andy and Esteban plating the dessert for our guests. Perhaps you could be the next guest to sample our latest dessert.
