Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake

A decadent lemon flavored cheesecake, topped with fresh raspberries drizzled with a lemon raspberry glaze, perfect for Spring! You will love the flavors of this dessert.

I am obsessed with lemon and raspberry right now. Obsessed I tell you. Almost as much as I am obsessed with raspberry and lime. I have been making way too many desserts lately and I was totally determined not to make any more. Then my sweet mother in law asked me to bring dessert to our family Easter dinner. I mean, I couldn’t possibly say no. Right? And I figured if I was making dessert I might as well go all out. So I made 2 different cheesecakes. This one. And a chocolate raspberry ganache cheesecake. They were both amazing, and I will be sharing the other one soon. But for now…I give you this beauty!
