Author Notes

This recipes bore because of a need : I had to prepare a dessert for 12 and I don't have a cake pan big enough, so I decided to make something different. I used the technique of the raw cheesecake for a cream and a granola for a crunchy replacement of the base. The best idea I could ever have! —Valentina | The Blue Bride
