Happy New Year 2012 everyone!! I hope you had an enjoyable holiday season. This is my first post of the year 2012 ~ Lemon Cheesecake. Lemon is the perfect flavour for cheesecake. I'm sure no one can resist this extremely light and refreshing hint of lemon dessert. This is also perfect to serve with a cup of mint tea.
