Childhood birthday memories. We always had a choice for a birthday meal the whole time I was growing up. For dessert I usually chose this lemon cheesecake for my Mum to make. It’s still one of my favourites to this day and the base was so easy to convert to gluten free along with the rest of it.
You can make this cheesecake in one large pan or eight small ones and it is not baked.
I have listed the brand names of some products that I have used in the recipe, because I know they are gluten-free and I never have any issues with them.
