Lemon desserts are just one of those that completely delight me! They are refreshing, bright and have a cool taste. Not because this is a great dessert, it is, but because it leaves a chill on my tongue.
Even If the dessert had not been refrigerated, the bars have a cool temperature feeling. This lemon Cheesecake is a no-bake dessert which makes it perfect for those who do not want to have the extra heat in the house.
I absolutely love these Lemon Cheesecake desserts. This is not overpowered by lemon, it is a subtle lemon mixed in with the creamy cheesecake mix. All this flavor on a Graham cracker crust. For me there is no better combination.
This is a very simple recipe that will save time and keep you away from the heat of the oven. It takes very little time to make and I am betting it is going to be your favorite dessert!
