Lately, I have been skipping sugar with amazing results. I am 4 pounds down with 4 cm off my waist and hips. However, I have been craving dessert but did not want to break the bank on calories so I came up with a low calorie no-bake blueberry cheesecake recipe that you don’t have to bake.
Spring in South Florida is marked by an abundance of blueberries in the store. Since it is a crop from Florida, they are extremely inexpensive and taste amazing!! I eat blueberries all year, but during spring, it is my favorite! My palette is ready for spring and the sweetness of fresh ripe blueberries. I decided to bring my home into the spring season with this No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake. The house now is decorated with for Easter and every meal has a little blueberry sweetness in it!
