68 Easter Cakes That'll Make The Easter Bunny Jealous

The recipe starts with our classic cheesecake, but gives it a fresh, fruity spin. To dial this classic combo way up, we fold fresh blueberries into the cheesecake and also make a blueberry topping to spoon over the dessert. While it may seem a bit extra, the topping concentrates the blueberry flavor and only takes a few minutes. The lemony zing to balance out our blueberries comes from a combo of lemon zest and lemon juice in the batter, plus some pretty lemon slices on top to complete our presentation.
