    Why is Cheesecake so Popular

    There is nothing quite like a good cheesecake. In fact, there is a restaurant chain that focuses an entire menu around them. And for good reason. There is no better way to spoil yourself or someone special than with an incredible cheesecake.

    Cheesecake is the one dessert that my husband and I agree on.  We love coming up with fun ways to incorporate the creamy goodness into new desserts and treats. It's one dessert that is so versatile because you can add cream cheese to just about any sweet treat.

    For breakfast try a brownie breakfast tart or a chocolate zucchini cheesecake muffin. Or try a no bake pina colada cheesecake parfait or a peanut butter cheesecake cookie bar. With some imagination and a block of cream cheese, the possibilities are endless.

    • The sweet and creamy flavor and texture leaves nothing to complain about.
    • A simple cheesecake can take on different flavors using creative toppings.
    • Cheesecake takes on many different forms. From full sized to no bake parfaits, the combinations are endless.
    • It is pretty simple to make but looks like it came from a high end bakery.

    FAQs

    How do I store leftover cheesecake?

    Store cheesecake desserts in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    What type of crust is best for a cheesecake?

    There are so many different crusts to use for a cheesecake depending on what flavors you want to have. Experiment with graham cracker crust, Oreo crust, or cookie crust to see what you prefer.

    What ingredients do I need to make a cheesecake recipe?

    The basic ingredients in a cheesecake are cream cheese, sugar, and eggs. Other things are added depending on the style and flavor of the recipe.

    How do I prevent cracks from forming on the surface of the cheesecake?

    First, make sure you do not over beat the eggs. This will cause them to take on too much air and the cheesecake might crack. Second bake the cheesecake with a pan of water in the oven. This will allow some steam to be added and will keep the dessert from drying out and cracking.

      I'm not big on those subscription boxes of every sort that you see nowadays, but I believe I would be helpless in the face of (er...make that able to understand the benefits of) a cheesecake subscription box service that featured every single one of these recipes in their turn!

      Well done, Jocelyn!
