Frozen Lemon Cheesecake

There’s something about lemons that make me think of Spring. Maybe it’s the fresh scent, maybe it’s the bright flavours, or the beautiful shade of yellows, but lemons just scream Spring to me! That’s why when Diana and I decided to stock our freezers for Spring, I needed to include a lemon dish in my 5 recipe-round up. Well after taking a look at all of my recipes, it turns out, lemons are featured and used in a few recipes! How great is that?!

Clint and I aren’t HUGE dessert fans, but I always like having something sweet around the house for when the mood strikes. And these days, with the sun shining in the windows, heating the house, and brightening the day, I enjoy taking a few extra moments and sitting down with a cup of tea and relaxing. That’s where the delicious single-serving treat come into play.

You can easily make this as one cake as I did above, but I also created individual treats for when the time strikes! Now my kids on the other hand? They LOVE dessert (what kid doesn’t, am I right)?! So even though we don’t do dessert every night, I do have something for them when the time is right… and their plates are cleaned 🙂

For this time around, I decided to make 12 singe serves + one large cheesecake. This can easily be made as one 9-inch cake, or made into 24 muffin sized cakes.

Note: to prevent my cheesecakes sticking to the muffins tins, I used silicone muffins liners. I purchased them from amazon for around $3.00 for a dozen.
