Summer-fresh cheesecake in a glass
Craving a summer dessert that both tastes amazing and looks fantastic? Try cheesecake in individual jars! This is a classic with a fresh twist—perfect for garden parties, confirmations, weddings, or just an ordinary Tuesday on the patio.
The cheesecake is served in small glasses, preferably Norgesglass or dessert glasses, and can be made the day before. The fresh taste of lemon and creamy cheese filling meets a crunchy cookie base and is topped with edible flowers or fresh berries—a real wow factor in both taste and appearance.
