Raspberry and rose cheesecake
Now that it's officially summer a wonderful and super easy dessert to shine even on a special occasion.
What I love most about this recipe is that you can add ingredients that are good for you without anyone noticing. Here I've added the mix - Pure Beautyfor a daily dose of collagen and Beauty Drops to strengthen connective tissue and bring more firmness and elasticity (desserts can be good for you after all!).
