What's your favourite cheesecake?

Yes.

@JilltheTooth Do you have a favourite?

Blueberry

Really, all of them. It’s a rare treat for me so I love any cheesecake.

While in Las Vegas several years ago, around 2 am, I ordered a piece of cheescake from the restaurant at Circus Circus. It cost about $3.50 and this piece weighed about one and half pounds! This was cheesecake made in New York and flown to Las Vegas, I later learned. This did not surprise me. After all, anythings possible in Las Vegas. Right? This particular cheesecake had pineapple and cherries on top. It was outstanding. We only ordered one piece and it was a good thing we did. It was enough for two people. We gained 5 pounds each from that trip to LV.

Hahaha, @JilltheTooth.
Plain cheesecake for me, thanks. No toppings, no fillings, no special swirls. It would be highly unlikely that I would turn it down, however, if you offered me cheesecake that included any of the above. I’m not much of a sweets person, but I could probably eat an entire cheesecake if I was left alone with it. I’m not going to test that theory.
I do have a bit of a soft spot for pumpkin cheesecake, though. I’ll put that in second next to plain.

@noelleptc Wow! sounds yum! I wish there were Cheesecake Factories in UK (if there are, jellies let me know where!)

Anuf, please explain pumpkin cheescake. Never heard of it.

@ANef_is_Enuf I completely understand – I find plain cheesecake can taste so light that you can’t help reaching for ‘just one more spoonful’, to find you’ve eaten the majority of it!!

@john65pennington it would be similar to what you would get if you blended pumpkin pie filling with cheesecake filling, and put it in a cheesecake crust.

@john65pennington I must check this place out – to have just one slice and remember it for the rest of your life must be one amazing slice!

Fingers crossed my cheesecake sets – its my first ever cheesecake :S

Strawberry cheesecake is always a favorite.

@JilltheTooth Yeah, cheesecake isn’t an everyday food for me so pretty much any will do it for me (well, maybe not coffee),

ANYTHING. But plain real New York cheesecake is my very favorite.

I’d love to try making NY cheesecake…although that could be dangerous – to have a whole NY cheesecake to eat!!

I like a tiramisu cheesecake other then that I don’t really care for it.

Nellybar, this was my mother in laws name,,,Nelly. I am glad to hear this name again as she is now deceased. Your cheescake will be fantastic. Just do not rush it. Save me a piece.

Noelleptic, where did banana pudding cheesecake come from? This is another new one on me. Is it really that good?

I love all cheesecake. Food of the Gods. haha

The BEST I ever had, and have yet to find it again, was a lemon cheesecake at a restaurant in San Diego years ago.

I STILL think of that cheesecake!

My home made lemon cheesecake
Crush a 500g pkt of chocolate digestive biscuit and put into a pan of about 2oz of melted butter. Stir together and pour into a loose. Bottom cake tin press down firmly.
Next mix aprox 300g of Philadelphia soft cheese until soft.
In a separate bowl mix 400ml of double cream until stiff
Slowly stir cream into soft cheese
Next add 6 table spoons of lemon curd or to taste and a tablecloth of icing sugar.
Pour mixture onto COOLED base
Leave to chill for an hour
Mmmmmm

I am torn between Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake and the chocolate chip cheesecake one of my mother’s friends makes.

@sakura

OMG! Bless you! I am writing this down now! :-)

I don’t think you can beat dense New York cheesecake, but I like most any kind. I am not that wild about chocolate cheesecake although I do love pumpkin cheesecake.

Regular cheesecake drizzled with a little caramel on top and with a chocolate graham cracker crust. Yum!

I love pumpkin cheesecake too @marinelife. My favorite is New York with strawberries. love strawberries

All the cheesecakes are my favorite lol. It’s my favorite dessert.
I really like the plain NY cheesecake from Junior’s

A restaurant around here has a deadly oreo cheesecake. The bottomm is slightly chewy, and it had chocolate coating on the top and the bottom that is about 5mm thick, but has a fudgy consistency. The filling breaks apart like it is dry, but just melts when you put it in your mouth.

Fuck i want some now

drooling, now

My favorite would be blueberry topping on a New York cheese cake , yum yum !

Regular or the Red Velvet one from Cheesecake Factory. Oh nom nom

Caramel. Caramel anything is always my favorite flavor of that thing.

I’d say strawberry. then chocolate.

I love cheesecake but don’t really like the store bought as much, because they taste so freaking thick and heavy [unless its chocolate…then its okay.]. I’m used to the ones my aunt makes; still thick because it is cheesecake after all, but not ultra heavy. some cheesecakes feel like a load to me.

My favorite cheesecake is any cheesecake. I do like Junior’s, like @Aesthetic_Mess said!

Stephanie’s Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake. It is sold at Cheesecake Factory and is the best dessert ever.

If it didn’t exist, I’d go with plain. LOL

I don’t care for cheesecake. It’s too heavy. There are just too many other desserts I like better to even fool with it.

@perspicacious: have you ever had Italian cheesecake? It’s amazingly delicious and not as heavy as regular cheesecake!

@SamIAm I don’t think so. If I see it on a menu maybe I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

I like regular (NY), strawberry, cherry, pumpkin. I like Costco cheesecake (plain or pumpkin). I also love Italian cheesecake (for those who don’t know, it’s made with ricotta and is not as smooth as NY cheesecake). I like my cheesecake not so sweet, so that’s why I like the Italian one. A good friend of mine’s mother used to bake one that had a layer of sour cream on top, which I liked because it cut the sweetness.

I’m really interested to try out pumpkin cheesecake – several people have mentioned it…

I’ve made my cheesecake with cream cheese, double cream and melted chocolate (and a gooood measure of baileys!) with a base of gingernuts – no baking required, just popped into the fridge to set.
Fingers crossed it has set!

My, my, my! This thread is great. I wish I had read it while in Vegas last week, I would have made a point of trying to find the cheesecake served at Circus Circus.
I’m always saying I don’t care for cheesecake because it’s to rich, but I really do like it, in moderation of course. I made a delicious cheesecake for Thanksgiving (Kahlua Cheesecake) that got rave reviews.

I can’t wait to try some of the places above and posted recipes.

@AmWiser How did you make the Kahlua cheesecake? sounds up my boyfriend’s street :-)

My cheesecake is amazing – I still have LOTS but it is yum yum!
Here’s the link for the recipe I used – this website has loads of other recipes to try out too..

I never met a cheesecake I didn’t like.

@john65pennington and others who would like to try the cheesecake John had at Circus Circus: the only thing that could spoil that plan would be if the cheesecake was from a supplier and they changed suppliers since then, or it the cheesecake happened to be made by a certain pastry chef who used his own recipe and he has since departed.

@AmWiser Brilliant! thank you for that, I havent tried making an oven-baked cheesecake yet and this could be the one :-)
