You mean, I have to let these set up? I’m afraid I wouldn’t even make it that far!
Love a no bake dessert! I know that my daughter is going to want this recipe for her college friends. They are always looking for easy desserts to make for each other.
Lemons and blueberries go so well together. I’m down with the no-bake part for the cheesecake. Then topping it with the homemade blueberry sauce is a winner!
I’m so down with the no bake option! I prefer this kind of cheesecake over the baked kind and these look delicious.
Sooo cute! And glad you’re feeling better. Thanks for sharing this fun recipe 😉
Yum! Cheesecake of any sort is fantastic! 🙂
Wow! Ive never done no-bake cheesecake but this looks divine, especially with that sauce!
Just love no bake desserts. And lemon with blueberry is the bomb.
Gorgeous mini cheesecakes and I love blueberry citrus combo!! Yumm….
Oh wow this looks amazing. I am not doing very well trying to reduce my sugar intake looking at all these amazing desserts.
One should always have a good no bake cheesecake recipe up their sleeves! These look fantastic, especially with the dollop of blueberry sauce over top. I’m glad you’re feeling better!
Love ” no bake” and these turned out really well. Great recipe for my kids to make on their own am thinking !!
