Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

Seriously Good Baked Cheesecake

Seriously rich and creamy and has a crunchy, "buttery" crust. It is the perfect combination of sweet and tangy.


Easy to make and entirely gluten-free and refined sugar free. A great make-ahead dessert for any occasion. We recommend using a springform baking tin lined with baking paper to make removing the cheesecake after cooking much easier.

So, what about the magnesium content?

As always, we made sure this recipe contains ingredients that are loaded with magnesium so you will be sure to get your daily fix.

Ingredients in this recipe that contain high levels of magnesium are cashews, silken tofu, almond meal and rice flour.

Tip* Make sure you use SILKEN tofu and not firm. This is what gives the cheesecake a lovely consistency and texture.

This cheesecake tastes best eaten on the day or the day after it’s made
