I have teamed up with Aldi to work on a few recipes for you to enjoy over the summer – or the rest of the year if you feel like it and my first creations are a couple of Cheesecake Sundaes. These are a really simple dessert to put together and taste great too – and all the ingredients you can find at Aldi. You can use the basic cheesecake mix and add pretty much whatever toppings/flavours you like. Here are a couple of my favourites – Both of these recipes create either two really good size desserts or four smaller desserts.
Cheesecake sundaes are a great alternative to a traditional ice cream sundae and they have a really moreish quality thanks to the cream cheese and sweet additions. You can pretty much vary these recipes at home however you like to incorporate different sweet treats or fruit options depending on your preferences. You could even top with whipped cream for another level of sheer indulgence!

Yum! These look delicious. I love cheesecake and this is a really easy way to make it at home.
These look fantastic. I love cheesecake in all forms and in summer mango cheesecake is my absolute favourite. So refreshing, you can almost taste the sunshine x
