NO BAKE MIXED BERRY CHEESECAKE

Anytime I that I have made a Cheesecake I always made a baked one.  I guess I had this dumb brain issue that unless it was baked it couldn’t be that good.

Sort of like my issues with No Churn Ice Cream, and we all know how that is going.  I just can’t stop making the Stuff!

I came across this No Bake Cheesecake from a friend of mine and I decided to give it a go.  I was in the supermarket and I saw a package with a mixture of half blueberries and half raspberries. So I  bought them.

I am not a berry person, and never have been.  But as a topping for a dessert, oh yeah I can do that.

So what did I do?  That’s right called my healthy-she-knows-her-berries daughter.  My question was “So do raspberries and blueberries go good together”?  “As in cooked together”?

She proceeded to tell me that they were an amazing combination, one of her favourites.  So there you go, this No Bake Mixed Berry Cheesecake had a topping.

This post was written back on June 16, 2016 and since that time I think I have made this cheesecake more times than I can count.  My Italian friends and family go crazy for this cheesecake.
