EGGLESS POMEGRANATE CHEESECAKE

I love pomegranates and I love cheesecake. Let’s put the two together! 

When my favorite pomegranates are in season, many delicious things can happen in the kitchen. Love using them in my salads, tarts, sauces …This decadent dessert may be one of the best ways to use those beautiful bright colored juicy seeds.

The taste of sweet and sour pomegranates blends with light and creamy cheesecake filling so perfectly, that you can hardly resist to eat only one slice.

Well, today I wanted to share with you this beautiful cheesecake with pomegranate sauce. You will love this cheesecake for its creamy, smooth texture paired with not too sweet, yet delicious pomegranate sauce.

I’ve always loved pomegranates. Now I really love them. Who knew that pomegranates and cheesecake were meant to be together? So be prepared to absorb some delicious calories and check out my recipe for no bake pomegranate cheesecake.
