Lemon Cheesecake

April 3, 2017 by Laura Leave a Comment

Happy April!

Spring is here in San Diego and I am loving it! Why?!? Because I love the warmer weather, the longer days and the fresh produce.  The best part is that I am going to be sharing this with family from the east coast. My Mom, Dad, Grammy and Grampa are all coming to visit…oh and have I mentioned… my best friend in the whole wide world is coming too?! It is going to be busy but so fun! I only get to see my family twice a year so it is the highlight of my year!

In other news I will also be shooting more videos for my YouTube Channel this week!!!!!  Meaning there will be a new Naturally Healthy Dessert recipe every Monday until July 3rd! (Breaking into dance now!) I am making a berry crumble, popsicles, peanut butter fudge, nice cream sandwiches and more…

Anyways, here is this weeks yummy recipe; Raw Lemon Cheesecake. I created this recipe for a friends baby shower who loves anything Lemon! She absolutely loved it and so didn’t her soon to be little guy! It’s perfectly tart, sweet and smooth! Hope you enjoy!
