Céline's Light Raspberry Lemon Cheesecake

Céline is my best friend. Her family has been in Paris for many generations, she's Parisien as Parisien comes. Like any respectable Parisien her ideal vacation is in New-York where she has often been sighted sampling cheesecake. When she's not off galavanting the big apple she's a journalist and she has hr own cheesecake blog in Paris. You can check it out here.

Many thanks Céline for participating in this cheesecake bake-off! Like always, your recipe is amazing!
