No-bake lemon raspberry cheesecake cups— Zesty, sweet and a whole lot of goodness! The perfect fresh and light-tasting dessert for Spring.
All good things must come to an end…
If you haven’t seen my earlier posts, this is the final installment in my Spring Dinner Party series! I’ve shared some tablescape decor inspo and a full vegetarian menu to go with it. I had so much fun putting this together and I know this definitely won’t be the last time I do this. This is the first of many to come! Before we dive into the dessert, let’s recap all the posts in this series.

Lemon desserts are kind of my fave…
Nothing screams Spring more to me than a fresh lemon dessert! So when I was creating the menu for the dinner party, I knew I had to incorporate that zesty flavor and being a fan of the no-bake cheesecake, this dessert couldn’t be anymore perfect. (see my other no-bake cheesecake recipes here and here)
Now, I need to make a small little disclaimer before moving on to the actual recipe, you may notice that the photos are a little different in this post than the rest. Well, that’s because I didn’t get enough “good” shots of the dessert when I shot the dinner party, and the food blogger in me couldn’t settle with what I had. Okay, I’m done. ?
