Lemon Blueberry No Bake Cheesecakes
Lemon and blueberry are the perfect combination of sweet and tart, and the best part is, you don’t have to heat your kitchen up to enjoy these lemon blueberry no bake cheesecakes! I personally love a no bake cheesecake. I find them to be creamier and less dry than traditional cheesecake and therefore more enjoyable. With no heat involved, this dessert is perfect for summer.
