No-bake lemon-blueberry cheesecakes are perfectly portioned treats

Dip your spoon into these individual glasses of blueberry and lemon cheesecake heaven.

With the warmer season now, we need desserts with more refreshing flavors. We can skip the heavier chocolate versions and go for more fruity combinations in our cheesecake. Hello, swimsuit season!

A subtle hint of lemon is all we need to make a fresh and delightful glass of cheesecake. Making it half cream cheese and half mascarpone gives it a more interesting edge than a regular cheesecake. You will love it, for sure. The problem is, yes, you did skip the chocolate, but it’s hard to have just one serving of these mini cheesecakes.

This is one of those dessert recipes to keep in mind when you have guests coming. The ingredients are very easy to find, the cakes are easy to prepare, and they will never disappoint anyone.
