Here’s sharing 2 simple recipes to help you! These recipes are EASY TO MAKE and perfect for entertaining during the holidays. They are sure to impress!
Cheesecake is a dessert best consumed with a hot coffee and a reading of the afternoon news. Recently, I got crazy over jars – breakfast jars, lunch jars, dessert jars. You name it, I have done it. When I went to buy jars from the same shop, the cashier said to me that there has been an increase in sales for jars recently. Of course, I am definitely their top customer for jars sale!
Hazelnut Rocky Road Cheesecake Jars is a super simple recipe that is easy to make (no oven is needed!) and is perfect for entertaining during the holidays. Nutella was added into PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese which gave a nutty and smooth creaminess, complemented with contrasting crust from the chocolate crumbs. We have accessorized it with cherries, but you can easily substitute it with any other favourite fruits of yours. This recipe is a keeper because it is tasty and easy. Till date, I have made it at least four times!

My best friend doesn’t have an oven in her house and she is always looking for a non-bake cheesecake. This Blueberry Lemon Swirl Cheesecake recipe came just right in time! Both of us were excited to try it together. Coincidentally, the supermarket has fresh supplies of blueberries. When the blueberries are smothered in the sweet and tangy lemon butter and eaten with the cream cheese filling, it makes a stunning dessert. Can’t wait to dig in!
