Ginger Cheesecake Dessert

This Betty Crocker dessert combines some of my favorite flavors: ginger, lemon, and cream cheese. The  ginger adds a little spice and the lemon and cream cheese are very refreshing. It is a perfect balance of flavors that result in a truly delicious treat.

Buon Appetito!
