Honey Cheesecake Recipe [No-Bake Version]
This is my take on a quick and easy Honey Cheesecake recipe (no-bake version) from my friend Carlos at Spoonabilities.com.
For ideas about putting your own spin on this recipe as I have done here ( substituting graham crackers for Amaretti cookies for example ) please read "Tips on How to Make the Best No Bake Honey Cheesecake" from the original recipe (link above).
This light, mousse-like texture cheesecake, naturally sweetened with raw wildflower honey and topped with a honey lemon -thyme drizzle is the ideal summer dessert!
You can make this honey cheesecake (no-bake) in a dish or in individual serving glasses as pictured.
