Lemon Cheesecake Puff with Berries
An easy and beautifully elegant dessert that will please the fussiest of diners. Get your Tenina on and try this one today.
SO this happened. And it is glorious. (Is that still a word?) We have been filming videos for a while now and I have to say the pressure is on for pretty, delicious and easy to film food, (sort of, we are quite happy to film the tricky stuff for you as well!!)
This cheesecake is really all about the Iced Puff Pastry, which if you have never made it before, this is the project you should start with, GO ON...you can do it, and there's a video for that as well!
This recipe was hatched on the day of filming, by moi, although I did think it through before actually filming, it really was on the fly and I have to say, one of the best recipes of the day. Try and see if you agree with me. Enjoy!
This was one of our Insider video recipes, but I have decided to share it with everyone, just so you understand HOW MUCH GREAT STUFF is on the Inside. Don’t delay, join us now. You really won’t regret it!
