Want an easy no-bake dessert? We've got you covered!
Meet our No Bake Lemon Cheesecake — An easy and delicious dessert that happens to be no-bake and can easily be made gluten free by swapping in gluten free shortbread cookies. We also reduced the sugar in this recipe by 50% (yes, you read that right).
WOT we love about this recipe: If you’re more in the mood for lime or orange, you can easily change the entire flavor of the cake! Just swap out the lemon juice for either lime or orange, and use that fruit to decorate and garnish.
For such an easy recipe, this one certainly has a wow factor and you don’t have to be a pastry chef to do it!
