Our no-bake individual lemon cheesecakes are a scrumptious, easy to serve dessert, perfect for the last-minute scramble or a carefully curated menu.
You can pop them in the fridge for a couple of hours or make them in advance and let them set overnight. Having each dessert in its own glass will help them set faster than a traditional cheesecake and means they’re also a great option if you’ve already had a large meal.
Looking for a tart and cheeky dessert for your next family get-together or big night in with friends?
