Lemon Macaroon Cheesecake is made of golden brown Oreo crust and filled with delicious coconut filling. Topped with whipping cream and lemon curd.
This lemon macaroon cheesecake is best for the summertime because it’s too hot to turn the oven on. The flavor of this cheesecake is one of the best flavors that I’ve ever had in my life. The main reason for that is because the coconut and lemon make a heavenly combination. Fresh whipping cream on the top of the golden brown Oreo crust, makes the perfect texture to this cheesecake.
