Hello lovelies,
With it being spring right now and summer fast approaching, you know what that means… right? It’s cheesecake season baby!
Just picture this: the sun is shining, the sun loungers are out, the musics playing and the bbq has just finished cooking your food, it all of a sudden hits you that you fancy something sweet to finish off your day – that’s where the cheesecake comes to play! It’s the perfect sweet treat to have, it’s light yet packed full of flavour and will finish off your day beautifully.
Are you in the mood for a cheesecake now?
I don’t think I’ve ever made a cheesecake here on my blog so it’s about time I changed that. We all know by now that I pride myself on my combination of ingredients and todays are a match made in heaven (literally!). Raspberry & white chocolate – oh my days, is anyone else’s mouths salivating right now? Just the thought of it makes my stomach gargle, It’s a dream combo!
What I love about todays cheesecake is how quick and easy it is to make. There’s no baking involved, it’s just making sure it has the perfect amount of chilling time. Due to the no baking, I find this recipe to be fresh, creamy and the flavours really pop. So, no matter your skill set when it comes to baking, you’ll be able to make this and share with your loved ones this spring/summer.
Before I rave on anymore about this cheesecake, shall we just get into making it…
