My paternal grandmother hasn't been feeling very well as of late and we had actually planned a big dinner party for her a few weeks back. However, those plans were put on hold as she was admitted to hospital about 10 days before the event. Luckily, it wasn't anything too serious and we still managed to go out for a celebratory dinner albeit it was on short notice (most of the us finding out dinner was still on about midday on the day!).
Originally, I had planned to make this extravagant multi-layer Chestnut, Coffee Mousse and Meringue cake with layers of chocolate sponge. It would have required lots of notice and well time to actually prepare everything! Wasn't going to happen with 4 hours notice... so I will have to save it for another time.
So... time to improvise. Ever prepared, I came up with this white chocolate cheesecake with raspberry mousse and chocolate ganache and fresh strawberries. The freezer really helps at times like these!!! Kind of looks like a neapolitan cake. Still had its layers and more importantly, still brought a smile to her eyes.
