I really love lemon cheesecake, it’s something fresh and summery about it that I really like. Today we woke up to a sunny day with over 25 degrees and of course those summer feelings you get in the end of spring starts to take over. I went to the beach and took my first swim of the year, 18 degrees in the sea so it’s not too cold actually. In the afternoon I baked this really summery and refreshing lime and lemon cheesecake which was really delicious. I will certainly bake it several times this summer!
