A cheesecake project

SO this has nothing to do with my own cooking skills, more my love of cheesecake. I love a good cheesecake as much as the next girl and my husband is right behind me in line for a big piece of creamy goodness. So we have been two by two trying all of the cheesecakes that The Cheesecake Factory has to offer and we are a little over half way through the cheesecake menu, so I figured I would share my thoughts so far.


The Original

This is a classic, delicious but too plain for us.

Fresh Strawberry

I don't like strawberries, I know I'm crazy... but I do love the sugary goo that surrounds them. This is a good choice if you want something simple and topped with fruit, especially for me and my husband who loves the strawberries and could care less about the goo!

Stefanie's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake™

I love cheesecake and I love red velvet cake and this concoction was supremely disappointing, as in I had two bites and decided I couldn't eat any more of it.

30th Anniversary Chocolate Cake Cheesecake

Again this mix of chocolate cake and cheesecake was disappointing, just because two things are delicious doesn't mean they need to be layered with one another.

White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle®

This was really good. I don't usually like anything white chocolate in anything but this is probably one of my favorites so far.

Godiva® Chocolate Cheesecake

When I am in the mood for something chocolaty this is my go to cheesecake. I love myself some Godiva and mix it with cheesecake and I am in heaven.

Fresh Banana Cream Cheesecake

I wasn't very excited about this entry on the list, but keeping with the task at hand to try every cheesecake they have to offer we got it. I have never been happier to put something banana flavored in my mouth EVER! It was like banana pudding which I love, except firm and creamy and over crust.

Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple

This is very rich, very good, but rich. Definitely share this with someone, it's not something you can eat alone.

Lemon Raspberry Cream Cheesecake

This was not as good as I hoped it would be. Especially because I love lemon and raspberry, those were our wedding cake flavors, lemon cake with raspberry filling. It was just a strange piece of cheesecake and I probably wouldn't get it again.

Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake

This will probably be in my top 3 cheesecakes when this project is said and done. It is just all around good, especially when you are sick of fruit and sick of chocolate, which happens on occasion.

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle®

This is another great option for a chocolate cheesecake. Definitely in my top 10.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is my all time favorite cheesecake, not to mention my all time flavor of anything. If I could eat something pumpkin flavored every day I would.


Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake

This is only OK. I love Pecan pie and Pumpkin anything but I was disappointed with the combination.


Maybe sometime soon I'll post a little blog about my first attempt at making a cheesecake... it wasn't pretty and ended with a hunk of baked cheese that you could use as a brick.
