Hi, this looks gorgeous, I just might attempt to try making them but I would like to use raspberries instead of blueberries. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Such a gorgeous cheesecake! Just tried this and it was amazing! I made this for my father’s birthday using fresh raspberries as well. Very pretty presentation and tasted amazing.
