Raspberry & Lemon Cheesecake.

Another scrumptious recipe it heading your way this very instant! 

As you can tell by the title and possibly the photographs below, I am sharing with you a delicious, creamy and sweet cheesecake recipe. 

As you can tell from the images the ratio between biscuit and cream cheese is slightly different. So in order to not be hit with a whopper amount of raspberry and lemon cream cheese, I decided to make an extra portion of the crumbled biscuit base to sprinkle of the top, which would add more texture to the top for when you first spoon into the glass. 

It is a perfect option for a 'lighter' dessert, as it is not full with rich chocolates making it dense and overwhelming. 

A perfect summer treat!
