The Masala Dabba #2. Spicing up desserts and journeying further into the spice box
It's strange how often we connect spices to savoury foods, often in India spice is synonymous with a curry!

Delicious 4 Ingredient Blueberry Cheesecake… smooth, indulgent, rich & simple

Inspired by my just too delicious 4 ingredient eggless no bake mango cheesecake, this blueberry version with no agar agar, no gelatine and no cornflour always turns out fabulous!
