    No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake

    Are you craving cheesecake but don't want to use the oven in the summer heat? This No-Bake Lemon Cheesecake recipe is for you.

    Listen, we all love a good cheesecake but who wants to bake one in the sweltering heat? Not I, amigos. This is why I made these no-bake lemon cheesecakes for dessert instead. They're super easy too, which isn't always the case with the baked variety.

    I had been craving a lemon dessert for a while (I'm a big fan of sour/citrus flavours), so I decided to roll with it. It's a slightly selfish decision since the kids don't tend to like cheesecake or lemon, but here we are.

    I chose to go with mini individual portions for this blog post, however this recipe can be made in one pan as well. Follow the same instructions all the way through, as well as chill time, but simply don't divide the recipe into portions. Easy peasy.

    One thing to keep in mind: using lemon juice won't actually turn your cheesecake yellow. If you truly want a yellow dessert, you'll have to add food colouring when mixing. I added a teeny amount for a hint of the colour, but how yellow you want the cheesecake is totally up to you.
