Nectarine, Almond and Honey Cheesecake
- Yield: 8-10
Description
I absolutely love cheesecake, and I especially love cheesecake in the warmer months when using delicious summer fruits. This cheesecake is so incredibly simple to whip up that it has quickly become a regular in my house. You can change which fruit you use based on what is on special or what is in season. Summer berries such as raspberries, strawberries and blueberries are delicious! Sliced mango and passionfruit make another great combo! – Peta
Recipe Tester Feedback: “A very simple and delicious cheesecake that could be easily changed to whatever fruit is in season. Very creamy and smooth. Sweet tasting with crunch. So easy! Love it!” – Heidi
