We're ending July on a sweet note, with a red, white, and blue cheesecake for ❤️🤍💙 This one involves a triple berry balsamic reduction (say that 5 times fast!) and fresh summer berries... it's almost too pretty to eat!

🍰 Recipe:

Ingredients

1 large cheesecake
1/4 C of The Olive Bin's Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 C of The Olive Bin's Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 C of The Olive Bin's Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar
Fresh red raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries

Directions

1. Place your balsamics in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Let cool. Reduction will be thick and sweet. (Do not boil too long, as the balsamics are already thick.)
3. Drizzle cheesecake with reduction and sprinkle with fresh fruits. Enjoy!
