Since we’re heading into the month of May, I figured it would be timely to share my No Bake White Chocolate Cheesecake recipe! This cheesecake just screams Spring/Summer to me and it so delicious! The addition of the lemon zest really cuts down on the sweetness and makes this cheesecake super bright and fresh! I know you’re going to absolutely love this not-too-sweet dessert recipe 😀 Use my Oreo Pie Crust recipe as your base and garnish this cheesecake with sliced strawberries or raspberry sauce/compote!
